While intentions may have been good, Umno Youth exco member and Islamic scholar Fathul Bari Mat Jahya said that the organisers of the “I Want To Touch A Dog” event should have respected the sensitivities of Muslims in the country.

He said although Islam was a religion that promoted discussions and respected differences, he advised the organisers of the event to be more careful in the future and to ensure conventional sensitivities were adhered to.
