An evangelical church said the Malay-language banners promoting its coming Easter musical was a requirement set by the Seremban city council. Tan Szet Anne, an assistant pastor with the Agape Community Church in the Negri Sembilan capital, added that the pageant to mark the Christian celebration this Sunday would be conducted in English and not Malay as alleged by Muslim activist group, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (ISMA). “The bunting was done in accordance with city council regulation which requires it to be in BM,” Tan said. While the law also allows advertisements in other languages, she said the city council insisted on translations in the national language, which must be prominently displayed on the banner.
