(Facebook pic)PETALING JAYA: The Islamic development department (Jakim) is investigating a Canadian pop star’s concerts in Kuala Lumpur earlier this week after claims that it contained elements which could normalise practices contrary to Islamic beliefs.
PAS Youth yesterday questioned the use of a giant golden statue and other elements of The Weeknd’s concerts at the Bukit Jalil national stadium on Nov 4 and 5, which it claimed resembled ritualistic worship.
Religious affairs minister Zulkifli Hasan said today Jakim’s research division was liaising with the central committee for applications for filming and performances by foreign artistes (Puspal) to verify the allegations.
