PAS has caused irreparable damage to the traditional art form, says USM professor.
Mak yong, a traditional genre of dance theatre, has been banned by the PAS government due to its association with animism.
He told FMT it would be unlikely for the PAS government to change its stand on something it once branded as abhorrent to Islam. “In all probability, it has to do with the new-found facade of PAS as it adapts to Umno’s culture,” he said. He said PAS had inflicted “irreparable damage” on mak yong and resuscitating the dying art form would be impossible today.
