AceShowbiz - Avril Lavigne's Malaysian concert goes on, so does its opposition. The artist who has been given a green light by the local government will have to face a mass of protesters when she conducts the concert on Friday, August 29 in the country's capital. Pan-Malaysian Islamic have vowed themselves to take any course in order to prevent the concert from happening.
Nasrudin Hassan, a representative of the party said that they are still unable to accept the fact that the "too sexy" concert will be held on the heels of Malaysia's independence day on August 31 and the feasting season. Reasoning on why it should be banned, Hassan said, "A concert of this nature is not conducive to teach the younger generation to become good citizens, upright and competitive, but instead would weaken them morally and mentally."
He then calls for an action to stop the event from taking off. "If the concert organisers do not heed this warning to cancel the concert, PAS youth will order all Muslim youth to turn up and protest the concert in order to prevent it from taking place," Hassan added.
Previously PAS have made their move by issuing a request to the Ministry of Arts, Culture and Heritage that decided later on to reschedule the concert. However, Avril and her manager also released a statement after that, confirming that the government have given them permission to play the concert as scheduled. No comment yet from both Avril's camp and the concert organizer, Galaxy, regarding the protest plan.
