Malaysia's hardline Islamists want ban of Avril Lavigne concert
The 23-year-old singer is scheduled to hold a concert, her first in the Muslim-majority nation, in the capital Kuala Lumpur on August 29. However, the opposition Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) youth wing slammed the organizers for approving the show, saying the young pop-punk star's loud shows were not in line with local culture.
'This show is not suitable for our local culture,' said Herman Samsudeen, the wing's information chief.
'Our independence month should be marked by respect ... and not remembered by inviting the offsprings of colonists who will teach our children how to become modern monkeys, prancing around without any purpose,' he said in a statement.
Malaysia celebrates it's 51st year of independence of Britain on August 31.
'Approving this concert is a great insult,' the statement said. Herman said the party would send an official protest note to the government to call for canceling the show. A party official declined to comment, as Lavigne holds Canadian nationality, saying only that Western influences in general were 'damaging' to local culture.
PAS, which has been in control of the northeastern state of Kelantan since 1990, has imposed strict religious laws dictating dress and all forms of entertainment in the state. Among others, women entertainers are not allowed to perform in public, and men and women have to sit separately in cinemas.
the singer's 'prancing' performances were not suitable for locals.
Hmmm....what will Avril do? Strip and monkey around?
the young pop-punk star's loud shows were not in line with local culture.
Tai lou, if concert not loud, then what is it? Rock is suppose to be loud and energetic, hookay?
'This show is not suitable for our local culture,' said Herman Samsudeen, the wing's information chief.
Well, not suitable for you mah. Just because this show is not suitable for you, doesn't mean that KL people (Note: Open minded people, unlike you) will also have to suffer like you all?
'Our independence month should be marked by respect ... and not remembered by inviting the offsprings of colonists who will teach our children how to become modern monkeys, prancing around without any purpose,' he said in a statement.
I bet the Canadian government will so not have a "Happy Ending" with our country already.
'Approving this concert is a great insult,' the statement said.
Gosh, since its the Patriotic Month, can't we all enjoy it?
that Western influences in general were 'damaging' to local culture.
What about Mat Rempits? Aren't they also 'damaging' our country's image?
Anyway, I'm so not surprise if any of your PAS controlled area had youths listening to Avril Lavigne's songs. In fact, I hope that PAS continues to ban every single concert....not. Go on, continue to ban as the world will see Malaysia as a narrow minded country.
Avril will be singing...
"Hey hey you you,
why you ban my concert?
No way no way!!
I think you should f*beep* off
Hey hey you you
Why you ban my concert?"
Beyonce was supposed to perform last year. But she canceled it.
Dungdut singer Inul Daratista from Indonesia was suppose to perform here this year, but you all baned her because her acts were 'erotic'??
Hookay.....
But anyway, I pitty Selangor being ruled by PAS. And if PAS ruled KL, boys and girls have to sit seperately in cinemas. Good concept. Bravo
