Hat tip to Nat.
Heh!
In his eagerness to attract young Chinese voters, he may have attracted the ire of other Chinese by stating that that dancing is part of Chinese culture. It could be taken as an insult.
This is not to mention the ire of conservative Malays (likely the majority!) in Bukit Gantang who are uncomfortable with too much bare skin.
Him being a former ABIM head and the minister in charge of religious affairs in this country, finding himself in such event truly adds confidence

p/s — I make no value judgment here.
