Malaysia's hardline Islamists want ban of Avril Lavigne concert
Aug 6, 2008, 3:35 GMT
Kuala Lumpur - The youth wing of Malaysia's hardline opposition Islamic party Wednesday called for banning a concert by Canadian pop star Avril Lavigne later this month, saying the singer's 'prancing' performances were not suitable for locals.
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 cancelling 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.

This is freakin' ridiculous. Please ar... Stop exaggerating and be realistic. It's just a freakin' concert for god's sake. And it's Avril lavigne. Are you blind? It's not an emo feast or some black metal event.
what?! everyone has been waiting for this damn concert for so damn freaking long and now you're banning it?! no way man! Avril Lavigne is a pop singer.. shes not some kind of heavy metal or punk or whatever..
how come My Chemical Romance can hold a concert in Malaysia but no Avril? i mean, they're the same type of singer!!
so wat is our local culture anyway? Its jus a concert!!!!!!!!!! n its avril!!! not like its marilyn manson or herman!! LOL
modern monkeys are better den monkeys in the jungle who jus follow ur ridiculous thinkin. Pls dun ruin this country, shut up n jus go take care of ur jungle area. thank you.
Nateeh !~ ! Malaysia dah jadi macam islamic , nak banned banned islam malay sajo lah , we just want to see concert only , if you don't ALOWED , put a guard infront of the check point , and don't allowed Islam Malay in lah , BABI Betul ~! get out of this country better , shit ~!
u f retards have nothing else to do? kids lost for months nv see u guys so hardworking go search for him/her, so free until can come and ban our consert? why dont u ban muslim from entering the stadium? [no offence to the muslim fellows, just too angry about the news]
I think this is extremely stupid.
Because I don't think Avril's concert will affect the culture in any way possible.if My Chemical Romance can perform here and they sing about death and all that why can't Avril come?Even the MTV Asia Awards 2008 was held here in Malaysia.How come PCD was allowed in?
odd.very odd.
this is so ridiculous as there is nothing that can change us even if she comes. I mean banning a concert is a total shit moreover it's avril's. are you mad, pas???? thank god my area aren't rule by them or not i'll just jump from klcc with a cardboard hanging on my head saying,'PAS killed me!'. Just let her come! This is all bullshit! if you dun think it's appropriate den you dun go and see la no one is forcing you wat. brainless hermen! you're just jealous that we all like avril more! wat you want publicity issit? well, congrats coz u did it, we all hate you!
what is going on here?! I was so surprised with the whole cancelling Avril's concert!! Common, the concert is about a girl singing on a stage. What could possibly happen? Something like this never happened before. How disappointing.. *sigh*
FUCK.
I want to see Avril.
Why PAS banned the avril concert.
iT will not affect to malaysian culture.
Why Gwen Stefani are more sexy than avril,can come to Malaysia,
But why can avril right? I think Avril Seldom used sexy clothes like other singer.
Am i right?
I Bought the Avril tickets already.
SHITT!
So, clearly you can see how angry Malaysian are.. Why the PussyCat Dolls, MCR, and the MTV Asia Awards can be held but NOT A HARMLESS AVRIL LAVIGNE CONCERT? i just don't get it!!
I love my country so dearly! But! THIS IS RIDDIKULUS(harry potter style)!!!

wat the F? she's canadian and didnt speak british at all. even pussycat doll, mariah carey and gwen stefani can hold a concert in Malaysia..
avril wears more decent compare to them. i fail to see the logic here.
prototype, stereotype, freakin mindless minded mind. stop acting like making malaysia a better place but actually it helps nothing but disgrace.
well.. i agree with you muhamad syafiq... it is stupid!! avril is not as sexy as the PCD'S! they are what i would call super sexy! so, AVRIL's concert shouldn't get canceled!!
anyways, Star said that it aint gonna get canceled!!
