Worth reading word for word =.=
When you want to improve a country, you have to do so in ALL imaginable aspects. Including MUSIC. When we compare Singapore to Malaysia, it’s safe to say Malaysia is more rich in culture and that’s what we’re proud of.
But Singapore celebrates the SAME festivals and has the same cultures, just not in a greater scale. Yet they are extremely developed and foreign countries pick Singapore over Malaysia in a SNAP.
When I was in US, someone asked me where I was from.
“Malaysia”
“Where’s that? O.O”
“It’s below Thailand?”
“Dude, no, that’s Singapore!”
WE ARE LITERALLY INVISIBLE ON THE MAP OF THE WORLD BECAUSE WE’RE NOT AS DEVELOPED AS WE HOPED TO BE.
Mahathir came up with Wawasan 2020. No way in living hell can we ever achieve that if we still have Islamists in our country. I understand that they don’t want the artists to influence us with their “bad behaviour” or “bad dressing”. I’m NOT going to counter attack that by saying “Look at the Muslim girls who come half naked to the concerts, what about THEM?”. Instead I’m going to AGREE.
I AGREE that artists should be decently dressed. No, I’m not some extremist my dears. I just think that’s what our country has always been brought on upon. We’ve grown on all these “budaya timur”. Why give in completely to “budaya barat” ? PLUS. YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENT WILL EVER ALLOW PCD JUMPING AROUND IN THEIR BIKINIS AGAIN?
I think NOT.
If you can’t break the rules, BEND THEM.
The government PARADES and goes ON AND ON, and even in SCHOOL we’re told to vacation in our country.
“Visit Malaysia”
“Cuti-cuti Malaysia”
MY ASS LA, THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
No one will be CUTI-CUTI MALAYSIA-ING. Instead, everyone will get their bums to SINGAPORE where concerts are APPROVED and major world-class musical festivals always go on.
Is that what the government wants?
Us, music-freaks to get plane tickets and run off to Singapore every time there’s some awesome concert? Tell me, how does that affect your CUTI-CUTI MALAYSIA plans, huh?
Now, obviously you’re all aware I’m talking about Avril Lavignes Supposed-To-Happen-But-Cancelled Concert.
I’m not the ONLY person who’s talking about it 
Kimberly Tong is.
Sandra Tan is.
OH, LOOKIE, PEREZ HILTON IS TOO T_T
I think that’s possibly the first time Malaysia has ever been mentioned on his famousawesomeblog. Here’s the article;
Yesterday, we mentioned how the Malaysia’s Islamists wanted Avril Lavigne’s concert cancelled.
Who can blame them???
Apparently April’s moves on stage were considered “too sexy.” Haha!
In Malaysia, they require all performers to wear clothes without obscene or drug-related images. They also need to be covered from chest to knees and need to refrain from shouting, jumping, hugging and kissing on stage.
Well, yesterday Malaysia ended up canceling Lavigne’s tour, saying it was appropriate, especially with their independence day celebrations soon approaching just two days after the show.
The Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry stated it decided April’s show was not suitable for Malaysian culture.
A rep from the ministry says, “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.”
An official from the youth wing of the fundamentalist opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, said “We don’t want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models.”
Good luck ever thinking Lavigne is a good role model!
Honestly, after every Perez Hilton fan read that, the only thought that came into their heads was “Malaysia sucks”.
We’re portraying SUCH a bad image of ourselves to the world!
YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME?
HERE ARE SOME OF THAT ARTICLES COMMENTS.
feelthepressure says: Even though I don’t like Avril, what’s a concert without shouting or jumping? That’s bullshit. Then I wonder who’s even allowed to play in Malaysia.
hyde30 says: I actually don’t care for Avril, but this is such crap. Who knew Malaysia was a bunch of buttoned-up grannies?
velvet rope says: Again, Who would want to perform in Malaysia?
No wonder why they’re so stuck.
MHE says: Malaysia goverment is just pathetic and ridiculous!
There are more of course, but I choose NOT to use so much of foul language on my blog
Do you not get my point? Although these are not WORLD LEADERS writing these articles and comments, they are still people who carry opinion and thought. And I’m sure it’s the PEOPLE who will mostly want to come and visit our country, not the eversobusy world leaders.
Don’t tell me our tourism sector is fully supported by Prime Ministers and Kings? BLEHHSS.
Anyways, I can go on and on about this. But a good debater knows her limits! I’ve brought my points and made my case.
I’m sure Laura will be proud of me
