In Malaysia, Makyung is better known as a traditional Malay performance, which is believed to have originated in Kelantan over 200 years ago. This performing art is believed to have its roots in animist and Hindu-Buddhist traditions and as such the performance is being criticised as being contrary to the Islamic religion in Kelantan, an East Coast state in Peninsular Malaysia whose state government is prone to the Islamic teachings. This paper concluded that the Kelantan State government has laid serious attention to the non-Islamic nature of Makyung performance via the state legislative control which is evident in its State policy and laws. However, the strict prohibition of this traditional performance has been relaxed via the Syariah compliance approach in the Makyung performance and it is hoped that this would enable the survival of this traditional performance in Kelantan for the future generation.
