Malaysian authorities had 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 when they held their concert in Malaysia last time, Gwen Stefani was told to cover up and Linkin Park were told not to ‘shout’.
Beyonce was smart enough to cancel her concert before the authorities could shut her door. Lots of other artists probably won’t consider having a concert in Malaysia at all.
