00:00 Education Minister Fadlina Sidik told the Dewan Rakyat that stern action has been taken
00:17 against one of its officers for banning two traditional tamu songs from being performed
00:21 at a carnival in Penang on Thursday.
00:24 However, she did not specify the action taken.
00:29 Fadlina went on to say that the song, titled Tamil Vautul, which is about the Tamil language,
00:33 will be performed during the Penang Deepavali celebration on November 29.
00:38 The other prohibited song was Kadavu Vautul, a worship song.
00:43 Earlier, Pakatan Harapan Zabatu MP P. Prabhakaran demanded for an apology, saying the action
00:48 had hurt the Indian community, as the songs were part of a tradition in Tamil schools.
