PAS Youth is mulling its options to protest against an upcoming beer festival in Kuala Lumpur next month in conjunction with Oktoberfest.
"We're thinking about it, let's see the situation first," said PAS Youth chief Muhammad Khalil Abdul Hadi.
Khalil, who is the son of PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang, was asked if the party wing will be organising a protest against the event.
This was after PAS central committee member Riduan Mohd Nor yesterday warned the Better Beer Festival 2017 that it will attract reprisals from extremists.
The Better Beer Festival, slated for Oct 6, will bring together independent beer producers and this will be the sixth time it is being held.
This is not the first time PAS has complained about similar events.
In 2014, PAS objected against an Oktoberfest function hosted at a shopping mall in Petaling Jaya, prompting the event to be moved indoors.
Meanwhile, Selangor exco Teng Chang Khim said such events can still go on despite PAS' objections.
"This is a democratic country, PAS can continue to object but the beer festival can proceed," he was quoted as saying by Oriental Daily.
He was responding to a question on whether such beer festivals will be allowed to take place in Selangor. - Mkini
