The Concert-Banning Issue

 

         

   

 

 

 

 

  Avril is too sexy, she's indecent and inappropriate,she can bring down your morality, negative influence on youths, girls will turn into "free whores"...at least that's what PAS Youth said when they tried to ban the concerts of Avril Lavigne, Mariah Carey, Pussycat Dolls and Gwen Stefani.

 Another reason given to ban Avril's concert was because it was held two days before our Independence Day...so what ?..how does her concert disrupt our Independence Day celebrations ?

Will you lose all your morality by attending concerts ?...Are concerts the only thing that can negatively influence you ?...Will girls turn into sluts overnight after attending a concert ?...I don't think so.

Why ban Avril ?

1) She doesn't sing Anti-Islamic songs

2) She doesn't strip down to her undies like Britney or Paris Hilton

3) Her songs are decent and do not call for sex

4) She does not dance "sexily"

  PAS want acts that are able to promote moral values...what act would that be ?...Barney and Spongebob SquarePants concert live in Malaysia ??

  We aren't living in the dark ages. Concerts are not the only factor that can "degrade" our morality. Walk along the streets of KL & you're bound to see women dressed sexily. If PAS wants to "protect" us, might as well they ban our local singers, Astro, radio, TV, MTV, theathers, magazines, newspapers, and the internet.

  Since when did PAS become our moral guardians anyway ?..Isn't that mainly the duty of our parents?..The government should stop giving in to the whims of minority groups. The reasons they give to ban the concerts also make us the laughing stock of the world.

  Even Beyonce cancelled her concert here last year due to PAS protests and held a concert in Indonesia!!...How can the world's most populous Muslim nation accept Beyonce but Malaysia can't ??...Just doesn't make sense to me.

   The Pussycat Dolls was also protested against by PAS but their concert was eventually allowed...so why aren't they allowing Avril who is definitely more decent than the Pussycat Dolls ?...Why not give the performers a chance to abide by our rules & regulations ?

  PAS shouldn't stop others from having a good time or seeing their favourite singers live which could be a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. Below are the rules & regulations for concerts in Malaysia set by the Ministry of Unity, Culture, Arts & Heritage...

Code of Ethics for Performers in  KL :

> No jumping, screaming and throwing items to audiences or vice versa

> No dance moves or using words that have sexual connotations, including kissing audiences or any similar act

> Don't act or say things that are meant to single out any community or religion, which may affect the political stand and stability of the country

> Don't perform without clothes or remove clothes, be it shirts or pants

> Female performers have to cover up from the chest to below the knees. Male artistes have to cover up from chest to knees. They have to look neat and clean throughout the performance

> Performance has to be clean and should not have vulgar, dirty or crude stories, lyrics and any language against Malaysian values, law and the Rukun Negara

> Every show or performance has to adhere to the date and place, as stated in the licence

> Promoters and licence holders have to give priority to the safety of its audience and general surroundings, at all times

Do's & Don'ts for Foreign Artists :

> Don't display improper and indecent behaviour

> Don't perform in an obscene manner

> Don't do or say things that may touch on religious, racial and cultural sensitivities of the communities in Malaysia

> Dress appropriately according to the type of performance and congruent with Malaysian culture

> Don't join the audiences at any time; performances confined to the stage of the premise

> Performances that involve the promotion of tobacco products and alcoholic beverages, either directly or indirectly, are not allowed

  I find some of these rules and regulations to be acceptable...yet some rules just makes a concert sound so dead and zombie-ish...but PAS takes it too far..

  Let we Malaysians make our own decisions to attend concerts or not regardless of race, religion or gender !! PAS should stop imposing their beliefs on us...and if they want to ban concerts, give non-bullshit reasons.

Check out this video of foreign media making fun of us about this concert-banning issue.

Report Lodged for Insulting Egg ?!

  How much dumber can things get...Anwar "sodomised" Saiful...the journalist was held under ISA for her own "safety"...and now, the Seputeh UMNO Youth division lodged a police report against Teresa Kok for insulting an egg...(I'm not bullshitting).

  The accusers claim that she insulted the Royal Malaysian Police and the egg, which is an essential food of the underprivileged. They want action to be taken against Teresa for her remark on the food which she had described as almost like dog food. The remark was an "insult" to the police and low-income earners.

  Firstly, she was arrested under ISA and released after a week due to a allegation by Dato Khir Toyo that has been proven false. When she is released, they lodge a police report for this?!...I can't believe how far they are willing to go to find faults with Teresa.

  Teresa said that the food served to her under ISA detention was LIKE dog food...not WAS dog food...it's an idiomatic expression!! It's just an idiomatic way of saying that the food was lousy. It's a figure of speech which shouldn't be taken literally.

  When will the higher authorities start focusing on the real important issues instead of silly police reports like this...start paying more attention to issues like rising crime rates, inflation, slowing economy, rising cost of living and others. I think it's an insult to make such reports to the police. Just chuck that report away la...I'm sure the police have more important stuff to deal with.

" ISA Is For Your Safety " ?!

The journalist , Ms. Tan who was arrested yesterday under ISA was released today . She was arrested for reporting on Ahmad Ismail's racist remarks . The interesting part is the statement given by Dato Syed Hamid Albar(pictured) on the reason she was released .

He said that 'Tan was detained under Section 73(1) of the Act in order "to ensure her safety" as police intelligence indicated that there were threats to her life after she reported on Bukit Bendera division Umno chairman Datuk Ahmad Ismail’s allegedly racist remarks' .

Wtf?!...Are we idiots ?!...Who would fall for this bullshit?!...If she was given death threats , why didn't they go after the person who gave the threats in the first place ?...Why arrest under ISA ?...Why didn't they just give her police protection ?

Well in my opinion , I feel that the Agong silently stepped into this matter and told the government to stop it as they have gone too far . Only the Agong can reverse government decisions if the government themselves refuse to do so .

Or else why would they simply release her ?...I doubt public noise would have stopped them as they knew it would happen...or else they wouldn't have done it in the first place...hmm...just my opinion and me exercising my oppressed freedom of speech and expression .

Don't Fall Into Their Trap

RPK , Teresa Kok & a Sin Chew journalist were put under ISA in one day , Ahmad Ismail calls the Chinese "pendatang" , "immigrants" & "squatters" , Khir Toyo accuses Teresa Kok for telling the Kota Damansara mosque to stop the azan prayers , Anwar's sodomy trial , the BN MP's trip to Taiwan ,...do you see what I see ?

September 16 is coming . It's BN's final resolution to save their precious power by instigating all the races in Malaysia . Their last option now is to stir racial riots...to remake a May 13 1969...During the May 13th incident , when the Chinese made racial riots , the Agong back then declared emergency rule and dissolved parliament .

Then the National Operations Council (NOC) was formed by the Agong . The NOC became the supreme decision-makers of Malaysia for almost 2 years . Gradually , BN was reborn to rule Malaysia again...and now their at risk of losing all that power & money .

Thus it is extremely crucial that the public do not riot , protest or take anything to the streets . Don't fall into their trap . Don't give them an excuse to put more people under ISA or declare an emergency rule .

Malaysian Politics...Everything's a Coincidence ?

1. Saiful swears on Quran that Anwar sodomised him one day before nomination day in Permatang Pauh by-elections .
2. Perak State exco members were detained by ACA during the Permatang Pauh by-election period .
3. Permatang Pauh voting day fixed on a Tuesday...a weekday right after the school holidays .

4. BN Back Benches Club go for a "lawatan sambil belajar" from September 7-19...trying to avoid BN MP's from crossing over to PKR on September 16 .

5. Saiful reports that Anwar "sodomised" him just when Anwar was giving too much trouble to BN .

6. Some Chinese schools in Permatang Pauh happened to get RM 1.2 million from BN a few days before voting day at Permatang Pauh by-elections .

7. Datuk Lingam's holiday with Tun Eusoff Chin in the same place (New Zealand) coincidental...even when they had the same travel agent .

8. Badawi drops fuel prices before Permatang Pauh by-elections...few days earlier he said he would drop it on September 1st .

9. Badawi uses the KTM & LRT a few days before Permatang Pauh by-elections...why didn't he use the trains before after 5 years of being PM ?

10. Controversial DNA Bill proposed a few days before Permatang Pauh by-elections .

11. BN creates chaos in Perak state assembly on March 7 2009. Next day, BN releases remaining       HINDRAF leaders from ISA !!

All just a coincidence ?..Well...fool me once , shame on you , fool me twice , shame on me .
