Omigowd, omigowd...i just read an unbelievable news headline on Yahoo! Music...and to my horror, the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students are actually urging the organizers to ban Gwen Stefani's upcoming Asian tour right here in Malaysia...all because of her so-called "indecent dressing and obscenity". I know i should be studying at this moment for my last exam paper tomorrow but then, i thought to myself that i could spend some time resting by surfing the internet...thus, releasing my stress and tension. However, immediately after reading this piece of news, my mood was completely destroyed and my heart was shattered into millions of pieces...and i think i could burst into tears at this point of the moment. I've been looking forward towards her upcoming debut live concert in Kuala Lumpur and then, suddenly my dreams and hopes are gone...just in a blink of an eye. They even threatened to ask the authorities to intervene if the organizers do not cancel the concert...what the fuck are they thinking about??? They are brainless...literally...they are only concern for their ownselves...have they ever think about Gwen Stefani's hardcore fans...just like myself...and yes, i am a total hardcore fan Gwen Stefani. Just ask any of my friends and they will know how much i am obsessed with her and how much i adore her. But luckily the decision to cancel Gwen's concert has not been confirm yet...so i pray to God that the lawful authorities and the organizers (the main organizer being Maxis) would allow her to perform here, in my lovely country. Maybe i should stop blogging for now...will continue further tomorrow after i have finished my exam...i am cursing them again right now...stewpid...stewpid...plain stewpid...and brainless too. Logging off...bye!!!
Anyway, just read the article below i have copied and pasted from Yahoo! Music.
Malaysia should pull the plug on the Kuala Lumpur leg of U.S. singer Gwen Stefani's upcoming Asian tour because of her indecent dressing and obscenity, a Muslim students' group said on Tuesday. The 10,000-strong National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students said Stefani's August 21 concert, which is part of her 'Sweet Escape' tour, would clash with local Asian and Islamic values. "Her video clips promoting the event are too obscene," Mohamad Hilmi Ramli, the group's president, told Reuters. "We want the organizers to cancel the concert, failing which we will ask the authorities to intervene." Ethnic Malays, who are by definition Muslims, make up just over half of Malaysia's 26 million people. Ethnic Chinese and Indians, who are mostly Buddhists, Christians or Hindus, form sizeable minorities. Hilmi also criticized Malaysian mobile phone firm Maxis Communications for promoting the concert." Maxis has been staging a series of foreign acts ... to make a profit and to expose our young generation to things such as moral decay," he said. Maxis officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
