MANILA — The Malaysian government will not allow the gay event or party planned for September 30 in Kuala Lumpur, said Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said the organiser had yet to apply for a permit for the event or party but he had instructed the police not to approve the gathering.
“If such a party or event is held, then it is an illegal gathering,” he said to Malaysian journalists.
Mr Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Home Minister, had arrived in the Philippines on Tuesday (Sept 19) to attend the 11th Asean Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime (AMMTC) and Related Meetings which concluded Thursday.
