Avril Lavigne 29日在stadium merdeka的演唱会取消！！
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 —
Malaysia today cancelled a concert by Canadian rock singer Avril Lavigne,
saying it may taint the Muslim-majority country's
Independence day celebrations after the Islamic opposition slammed
her show as being "too sexy."
The Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry said it had decided
not to permit Lavigne's show because
it was unsuitable to Malaysian culture and
could not be held on Aug. 29, two days ahead of Merdeka.
"It is not timely. It's not in the good spirit of our National Day.
If we go ahead with the concert,
it is contrary to what we are preparing for,"
said Shukran Ibrahim, a senior official from
the culture ministry's department that vets all foreign artistes.
The decision came after the youth wing of
a fundamentalist opposition party,
the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (Pas),
called for the show's cancellation.
Kamarulzaman Mohamed, a party youth official,
said yesterday that Lavigne's show was
"considered too sexy for us" (还好吧。。) and
would promote the wrong values just before Merdeka.
"We don't want our people, our teenagers,
influenced by their performance. We want clean
(还不算"clean"啊？要怎样才算clean?信奉islam？) artistes,
artistes that are good role models," he said.
Lavigne, who became famous with her 2002 debut album "Let's Go,"
had planned to launch her monthlong Asia tour in Kuala Lumpur.
The show's promoter, Galaxy Group,
can request a new date for the concert,
which will be considered by the ministry, Shukran said.
Galaxy officials couldn't be immediately reached for comment.
Galaxy began advertising the Grammy-nominated
rock singer's concert this month even though
it had yet to obtain a government permit,
which is mandatory for all foreign music shows.
It said yesterday about half the concert tickets had been sold.
Malaysia requires all performers to wear clothes without
obscene or drug-related images and
be covered from the chest to the knees.
They must also refrain from jumping, shouting,
hugging and kissing (好心咯。。笑脱别人的牙咯。。
演唱会咧。。以为古典演奏会meh?) on stage.
Still, members of Pas and other conservative Muslims often
protest against Western and even Malaysian music
shows that they deem to be inappropriate.
一个字。。“晕”。。
well。。我没有买票去看啦。。（虽然，很想看。。）
但，还是觉得>.<"'。。
这样下去。。还有哪些西方歌手会来。。。
政府官员们。。Avril Lavigne办着的是世界巡回。。
你们条件多多。。现在还要延期。。
这演唱会被你们弄得凶多吉少啊。。
malaysia还真的蛮“boleh”。。
这演唱会是延期还是取消。。这星期内会知道。。
看看外国人怎么笑malaysia。。
