Malaysian authorities have cancelled the concert-permit for Indonesian singer Inul Daratista following protests from some Islamic groups.
The concert was scheduled to be held last weekend in Kuala Lumpur before being cancelled at the very last minute. Some Islamic groups were protesting against the concert… the major reason was that the concert was ‘erotic’. Obviously they won.
Inul is controversial with her suggestive dance moves which she called it the ‘Goyang Inul’ or ‘Gerak Gerudi’ (literally ‘drilling moves’). I’ll leave it for your own interpretation of how erotic she is with the below video…
Some trace-back… Pussycat Dolls were fined around USD3000 when they held their concert in Malaysia last time, Gwen Stefani was told to cover up, Linkin Park were told not to ‘shout’… and Beyonce was smart enough to cancel her concert before the authorities could shut her door.
If this trend keeps going, lots of the foreign artists might not consider having a concert in Malaysia and favour neighbouring Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia instead.
like her little harum of dancing girls in the background too with all that yellow waving around.. Just a great video
Loki… yes, I am a guy. It’s a common mistake that people think that I am a girl judging from the name alone; can’t blame them… have to blame my parents instead lol.
hmm, i really dont know what to comment on this, but i guess the authorities sometimes is really weird as some local artistes wears even sexier dress and more ‘erotic’ songs, but they dont really ban those artistes, but they are being hard on the foreign artistes.i think if they want to implement that on foreign artist, then they should really observe the local artistes as well.and about the concert, i heard that the concert is being rescheduled, if i’m not mistaken..but about beyonce, i mean, if gwen stefani can do it, then why cant beyonce tries to cover up too??the fact that she cancelled her concert just makes me think it’s not even worth to listen to her song as she herself is not taking any chance of proving that she can do as good as when she is dressing sexily.but that is just my opinions. but i hope that the readers from this site should really be clear that not all malaysians are conservative, it is just sometimes we have to respect our own culture and religions also, and by that i mean malaysians, all malaysians in general and not pinting to any specific race or religion.
Saw somewhere that someone said she rejected some “prominate VIP” ( I’m assuming maybe that means someone’s advances???) and that’s why it was cancelled.
From everyone here has said about much sexier acts not being banned that may be the case. It’s very possible knowing the way politics works in showbiz around the world. Not what you do but whose ass you kiss. The people in power in show biz can make or break you no matter who you are. Pretty sorry the way some of those buzzards work. Oh well.
nyss… I don’t think the authorities are being discriminative to foreign artists; a local singer (Faizal Tahir) was banned from live telecast for three months for pulling his shirt off remember? The problem is that there is a lack of consistency in implementing the rules… why was Inul allowed to have her concert in 2005/2006 but not now?
cole… you are reading too much lol.
what the hell is wrong with those dumb ass people? its just some song and dance doesn’t means it gonna be like strip show…jeez..no wonder malaysian are too stupid to improve their own
