Sorry, "too sexy" Avril Lavigne, you are not for Malaysian (well, not all Malaysian, I insist, just them, at least.)
Shukran Ibrahim:
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.
Kamarulzaman Mohamed:
We don't want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models
Last year, R&B singer Beyonce moved her show from Malaysia to Indonesia, and Christina Aguilera skipped the country on an Asian tour after a controversy erupted over a dress code for foreign artists.我不是摇滚乐迷,我不迷avirl,不迷beyonce,不迷PCD,不迷Christina。
亲爱的YB,我希望你们能够澄清,你们口中的"WE"不包括我,我从来也没有觉得这些艺人的形象有问题。也从来不觉得他们的形象对我们的思想能有什么荼毒,或者会怎么样亵渎我们的高尚,是,当我是个道德沦丧的家伙吧,我从来也不自命高尚,我是人,有七情六欲,会贪,会淫,会激动,会高傲,我有人性的缺点,但是我要强调,我会自我克制,不需要你来为我决定。
I'm not a particular rock fans, I'm not avirl lavigne's fan, nor beyonce's, nor PCD's, nor christina Aguilera's fans.
Dear YB, please exclude me from the "we", the images and performances of these artists, including but not limited to Avirl lavigne, beyonce, PCD, christina doesn't offend me even abit, and are not "too sexy" for me.
I am not as "noble" as those would be nobles, I'm merely human, I have emotions, I have desires, but I have the ability and will to control them, accept them as part of me, instead of classifying these artists as "inappropriate" and prohibiting them from coming to me.
STOP DECIDING FOR ME, YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER(and he never does that, either)AND STOP MAKING US, YES, I MEAN "US" LOOK AS BAD AND CONSERVATIVE AS YOU ARE.
