It’s official, Avril’s KL concert is on. The Malaysian authority has changed their mind with the earlier decision to bar the Canadian pop star from performing in Kuala Lumpur on August 29th.
Avril has told MTV earlier that the concert will go ahead as planned; and there were other sources hinting that Galaxy Group, the concert promoter, has successfully appeal to the initial ban. It has now been officially confirmed that the show will go on.
Earlier this week, Malaysian authority made the call to bar Avril from performing as scheduled, stating that the concert is unsuitable for Malaysian culture, particularly not when the country is celebrating independence day on August 31st.
The decision echoed the call from an Islamic opposition party for the show to be scrapped, that the show is considered too sexy for Malaysians and would promote the wrong values as Malaysia’s independence day is looming near.
It’s almost deja vu for Malaysians… as the authority had barred Indonesian singer Inul Daratista from performing in late July 2008 following similar protest that her performance was too erotic. Luckily for Avril’s fans, Galaxy has managed to appeal for the concert to run as planned.
Do mind that Malaysians in general are not that conservative; in fact lots of the Muslims are quite liberal in these kind of matters. Unfortunately the men that make the initial decision were not quite as open minded… glad that the final decision makers are showing more sense.
uhmmm…yeah ur right…ithanks 4 the advise…but…i have collect to much money…and i put it bank…so i have coolected about RM5,000….but…i still can`t to buy the ticket…
so,my mistakes…collected not coolected….sorry…
If you have that amount of money then why not just buy the ticket yourself? Or your parents are not allowing you to go regardless?
i cant lah….in my wallet only have about RM80.00 or below…i dunt have much time to collect my money..my parents wont allowed me to buy the ticket…although…i use my own money…pwetty sad….
Well, it depends on how you get the money and what those money are for. Don’t be greedy, go for the cheapest tickets possible, ask your parents again for that.
I cant lah….
Forget about the concert then… as said earlier, there’s plenty of chances for you in the future.
no i cant!!!…i still have chances….to win the tix!!!…wish me luck!!!
Good luck.
thankies!!! =]
Malaysia is a rubbish country. We’re the so-called country with many races and “work together”.What the hell, ***************. I am deeply ashamed to call myself a MALAYSIAN, oh god! Why must I born in this STUPID country. All the ministers here are known for bribe-ing each other and corruption. FUCK MALAYSIA!!
