The world has embraced this autumnal tradition from Germany, where people get together in a big tent in order to drink beer out of large mugs whilst singing boisterous folk songs. As a Muslim country, you might imagine that Oktoberfest would not find a foothold in Malaysia, but you would be wrong. While it is made pretty clear that Muslims should steer clear of this distinctly un-Halal gathering, the Chinese community in particular is happy to take part in a festival involving consumption of beer and pork in large quantities.
