PKR president Anwar Ibrahim has apologised for a carnival-like Ramadan event organised by the party's youth wing.

"We received some objections and expression of regret over a PKR Youth event for Ramadan iftar (breaking fast) with carnival-like events, songs and fireworks.

"I apologise for this oversight," he told a press conference after the PKR leadership council meeting, which was aired live on Facebook.

For Muslims, Ramadan is considered a holy month for prayer and reflection.
