Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy has criticised the organiser of this year’s Penang Run for being “highly insensitive” to the feelings and sentiments of Hindus.

This is because the organiser, ActifeStyle, had planned and organised the run the day after Deepavali, on Oct 30.

Ramasamy noted that the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) was supporting the run.
