I think most Malaysians will believe that her decision is due to her reluctant to abide by the dress code, where female artists have to cover up from the top of the chest to the knees.
I am surprise though, that she decides to go to Indonesia instead. Perhaps they don’t have an official dress code, but a protest of some sort is almost certain.
