For those unfamiliar with the concept of carrying a kavadi, the kavadi attam is the sacrificial offering performed by devotees during the auspicious festival day of Thaipusam.“With all due respect Datuk, I don’t think this is very nice to say. I understand you can’t comprehend what she is wearing, sir, but please don’t relate it to religious event and mock it. Did not expect this from you,” commented a disappointed-sounding netizen.
“That’s casual racism, Datuk. It’s not funny at all, especially coming from someone of your stature, a well-loved and well-respected individual. Better delete,” said another.
