Avril Lavigne Concert on August 29 "Too Sexy" For Some Malaysians

Avril Lavigne In Chicago The Best Damn Tour 2008

Avril Lavigne's concert in Kuala Lumpur on August 29, 2008 is deemed "too sexy" for some Malaysians. Kamarulzaman Mohamed, of the powerful Young Wing of Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, had asked the Malaysian government to cancel the planned concert to be staged at Stadium Merdeka, saying Avril Lavigne concert would promote the wrong values ahead of Malaysia's August 31 independence day.

"It is considered too sexy for us. It's not good for viewers in Malaysia. We don't want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models." Kamarulzaman Mohamed was quoted as saying by AP.

Mohamed's claim was slammed by Freddie Fernandez, president of Malaysian Artistes’ Association.

This is the most ridiculous thing to do – to ask for a cancellation of such a decent performer like Avril Lavigne." he said.

Avril's music is very popular here. PAS Youth should never deprive Malaysians of the chance to watch the concert.”

Their narrow-mindedness will definitely not get the support of the rakyat. They are always looking at the world through blinkers. They cannot see any other point of view except theirs.” Fernandez added. Sources: AP & theStar Image credit: PR Photos
