PUTRAJAYA: The organiser of the “I Want to Touch a Dog” programme, which created a furore among the Muslim community, has apologised to the Islamic Development Department (Jakim) for holding the event.
Jakim director-general Othman Mustapha said Syed Azmi Alhabshi had expressed remorse over the incident and pledged to be more cautious when organising social events.
Othman said the apology was made at a meeting held at the Mines Hotel in Seri Kembangan yesterday, involving five organisers and five others from the Syariah Specialist Panel (PPS) of the department.
“PPS had given a warning and advised them against organising similar events that involved the sensitivities of Muslims in Malaysia,” he said in a statement yesterday.
“Jakim hopes the matter would will not be sensationalised by any party.”
