Transcript

00:00Several Malay parents whose children attend Chinese schools say brewery-sponsored charity concerts are acceptable as long as they serve the institution's best interests.

00:14Lily Diana, whose son attends Yook Chai Primary School in Selangor, was unperturbed by a controversy over a recent Chinese education charity concert, which displayed a Tiger Beer logo in its event materials.

00:29She said she had no issue with the concert as long as the money will be used to improve school facilities and the donation does not come from the beer brands.

00:39The controversy first erupted when PAS criticized a deputy minister for receiving a RM3 million mock check bearing a Tiger Beer logo at a Chinese primary school event in Sungai Pelik, Selangor.

00:53Another parent, Zarina, whose daughter attends Yook Chai Primary School in Ipoh, said the charity concert should be allowed to continue as long as it does not require the participation of children and Muslims.

01:06Meanwhile, Joyce, whose grandson attends Yook Chai Primary School in Petaling Jaya, said the concerts have been held annually since 1994 but were never made an issue until now.

01:18She added that the money raised would be used for a good cause, which was to improve the facilities and infrastructure of the schools.
