Too Sexy?!





Lavigne 'too sexy' for Malaysia gig
Malaysia has cancelled a concert by Canadian rock singer Avril Lavigne after the Islamic opposition slammed the show as being "too sexy".
The Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry said it was unsuitable for Malaysian culture and could not be held on August 29, two days ahead of the country's independence day.
The government's decision comes after the youth wing of a fundamentalist opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, called for the show's to be scrapped.
Kamarulzaman Mohamed, a party youth official, said that Lavigne's show was "considered too sexy for us" and would promote the wrong values on the eve of Malaysia's independence day.

What a big surprise for the Malaysian teenagers that Avril Lavigne, a popular Canadian female rock singer, is going to have a concert here. One month before the concert, tickets are almost sold out. On every television there are advertisements that sing "Hey hey You you I Don't like your Girlfriend"! Maxis (or rather Hotlink) has a bunch of promotion of Avril Lavigne's true ringtone promotion (I received no less than three offer messages in a day). We are going to watch our star perform with our own eyes!

Hey, readers, we do not have the chance actually. What a big "surprise" too when Malaysian government axed the show! The reason is "TOO SEXY" (as you can see from the above news cutting)! Owh gosh, if you observe carefully, Avril Lavigne has never give you see even her bare shoulder to you in ALL her concert, how can you say her SEXY? Avril is the one that always wear T-shirt with jeans or skirt! It is nonsense to claim without observe. In my opinion, teenagers nowadays should only listen to retro and maybe only religious rhythm (sure die ler).

Lets take a look at Malaysian renowned singers: Dato' Siti Nurhaliza. Honestly, I am not a fan of Avril, as I only love her When You're Gone and Keep Holding On. Instead, I prefer Dato' Siti's songs. However, in this case, I need to use her as an example (Minta maaf banyak-banyak Dato', saya hanya perlukan kebenaran). 



Dear readers, what is your opinion? Where do the two famous singers differ? Instead, Dato' Siti should wear scarf according to Islamic rules. So, what is the reason not to cancel Dato's concert but Avril's? For your information, Dato' Siti even held her concert in Royal London! Now, there add another topic for foreigners. 

One question linggering in my head now, who will be the next victim(s)? Who else will brave enough to come to Malaysia? This Hari Kemerdekaan will Merdeka (independent) no more.

I agree with you, that Avril of all singers and performers isn't TOO SEXY. She just has her own style.
I'm no big fan, but sad that the show was canceled. The government pulled a fast one there!

Take care.

Thanks Anonymous for your feedback. I am actually telling my opinions about this case, and this has no offence to anyone, either to the deceased or alive ones. I'm no Prime Minister, so I know that I cannot sound my voice. However, you should know that I used careful languages to convey my opinions. From your language, I know you are a Malay male who is a fan of Dato' Siti. Like I said, I am her fan too!
I need to open your eyes and look at the world, not in your nutshell.
I can bear the language that you used and I will not delete it. Hope you understand. I am always critical.
Mind your words and please protect the image of Malaysians. You should know that this is a worldwide Blogosphere.
