Selangor's Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has asked Religious Affairs Minister Idris Ahmad to attend the Bon Odori event in Shah Alam next week.<br /><br />This is after the sultan disagreed with the minister's view that the event was religious in nature.<br /><br />"His Majesty suggests that the minister attend the Bon Odori celebration on July 16... so that he can understand the difference between religion and culture," the monarch said in a statement today.
