Bon Odori is on, says Selangor


Dance, food and fun: A filepic showing the Bon Odori Festival, a popular get-together summer event which is accompanied by singing, dancing accompanied by lively gongs, drums and flutes.

PETALING JAYA: The Bon Odori Festival, when the Japanese do the obon dance, is set to go ahead at the Shah Alam Sports Complex on July 16 as the Selangor state government has no objections to it being held.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said he had yet to receive any advice or views regarding the organisation of the festival, which he considers a celebration of Japanese culture, rather than a religious one.
