Would the Islamists be more accepting if Beyonce performed dressed in a tent? Would this detract from the show? Who are they as Islamist leaders to judge, is this not a government decision?

I think that PAS and the PAN Islamic people, are going too far. Dude, look at what your own blady race is doing first then u decide. We dont need Beyonce to “influence” us, just go to CENTRO, in KL SENTRAL, and u can see ALL THE MALAYS lepaking there, dancing on bar tables, consuming alcohol and so on…… So what the hell? Conservative? Right, mayb in your dreams la. Puh lease.
This is what makes me sad to call myself a half Malay, and a Malaysian. Sheesh.

What the fucking hell???? [to mati lagi: There's no need to support Malaysia too much. Beyonce isn't a coward. U think that she's scared of Malaysian government or something? Well, she isn't and there's no need to. She isn't degrading M'sia but we ourselves are degrading ourselves in the eyes of the world.] 2nd cancellation is just too much and its GETTIN’ ON MY NERVES!!! Why ban her??? First of all, those who are gonna attend the concert are willingly attending, no one’s forcing them. If they don’t want to go, no one’s gonna imprison them. Secondly, the Pussycat Dolls (known for their over sexuality- not just sexiness) ‘have’ performed in M’sia and they didn’t ban them but they want to BAN Beyonce(?!?!) seeing that the Pussycat Dolls’ songs and dance moves are far worse (sexually) than Beyonce’s. I am a Malay. I wasn’t planning to go but now, because of this, I WANT TO GO NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!

Pity on the association or body here that cancelled her show. Beyonce is looking out for her safety , this is why she decided not to come here. This whole country can have her advertisements on products and do marketing with on perfumes, clothese and everything and try to look “Americanised” but everyone wants to put rules when they enter malaysia. I agree the other acts came but none of them would have been threatened like beyonce would have . She is a Celebrity , not a porn star. Music is her product, not her body.
