The concert hall apologised to concertgoers and said ticket holders may exchange their tickets for another concert at Dewan Filharmonik Petronas or the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra this season.

They may also request a refund, made through the original payment method used. Requests for exchanges or refunds must be made no later than Feb 8, it said.

Harith was the subject of a police investigation for a satirical post on the use of the word “ham” following controversy over the halal status of sandwiches sold at a convenience store in Universiti Malaya.

He said in a Facebook post last week that his faith was shaken after seeing a menu advertising “Ham Sap Coffee” as it contained the word “ham”.

Earlier today, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said police recorded a statement from Harith over his post, which critics claim to be offensive to Islam.

The Islamic development department (Jakim) has said it would also summon Harith over his post.

Razarudin said police had received 16 reports on the matter. Another person, named as Cecelia Yap Song, was also sought.
