M'sia made it to the Swiss headlines

Recommended Posts

20minutes is a free Swiss newspaper published in the German and French speaking regions of Switzerland and just the other day, HB comes home telling me that us M'sians made the headlines. And seriously, after reading it here, I can imagine how the Swiss are just laughing about us.

Avril Lavigne est trop sexy pour les Malaisiens

La chanteuse n’est pas la bienvenue en Malaisie. Le parti de l’opposition islamique du pays la juge «trop sexy».

Les mouvements de scène d’Avril Lavigne dérangent en Malaisie.

«Nous ne voulons pas que notre peuple et nos adolescents soient influencés par la performance d’Avril Lavigne. Nous voulons des artistes propres, des artistes qui sont de bons modèles», a affirmé Kamarulzaman Mohamed, un officiel du parti islamique en Malaisie.

La chanteuse de 23 ans devait commencer sa tournée asiatique le 29 août à Kuala Lumpur. Mais dans une lettre adressée au ministre de la Culture et au maire de la ville la semaine dernière, Kamarulzaman a exigé l’annulation du concert de la Canadienne. «C’est trop sexy pour nous. Ce n’est pas bon pour les spectateurs en Malaisie», dit la missive. En attendant, aucun feu vert autorisant le concert n’a encore été lancé par les autorités.

En 2006, les Pussycats Dolls avaient écopé d’une amende de 2800 fr. lors d’un concert dans la capitale malaisienne pour avoir enfreint les règles de la décence. L’été dernier, la chanteuse Gwen Stefani avait confié avoir fait «un sacrifice énorme» en portant des vêtements plus sages que d’habitude. Quant à Beyoncé et Christina Aguilera, les deux divas ont évité le pays lors de leurs tournées respectives l’an passé.

It basically says that Avril Lavigne is not welcomed in Malaysia because PAS thinks she's too sexy and young people will be influenced by her if she performs in KL. The PAS official was quoting saying something like how artists who are good models are only welcomed.

She was supposed to perform on 29 August in KL but a letter sent to the Minister of Culture and DBKL last week (the week before 18 August) objects to it and says that "she is too sexy for us. It is not good for M'sian audiences".

The article goes on to give a list of artists who had the same issue - Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and Beyonce plus the Pussycat Dolls.

So...PAS is more worried about an indie singer who doesn't do drugs and has no criminal record (from what I can remember - I could be wrong) than all those rapists, wife beaters and gawd knows what else (perverts and such) walking out streets...OH, lets not forget our politicians too (they are hardly model citizens). =.=

Heard that the S'ngor Sultan scolded the PAS president for being so narrow minded.

Come on.., Avril only wears T-Shirt and jeans, what's so sexy about it?

Anyway, did the show go on? Or Avril decided Msia is too much trouble to stop over?
