Anwar apologises over 'carnival-like' buka puasa event
PKR president Anwar Ibrahim has apologised for a carnival-like Ramadan event organised by the party's youth wing.
"We received some objections and expression of regret over a PKR Youth event for Ramadan iftar (breaking fast) with carnival-like events, songs and fireworks.
"I apologise for this oversight," he told a press conference after the PKR leadership council meeting, which was aired live on Facebook.
For Muslims, Ramadan is considered a holy month for prayer and reflection.
