Beyonce won't be 'naughty girl' at Malaysia show
By SEAN YOONG,Associated Press Writer - Friday, September 25


KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Beyonce Knowles has sung about partying like a "naughty girl," but Malaysians can expect her to be on her best behavior for a concert in this Muslim-majority country next month, the event's organizer said Thursday.

The R&B superstar has attracted criticism in recent days from the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, the country's largest opposition group, which wants authorities to scrap the Oct. 25 show because it would promote "Western sexy performances."

Knowles, who is well-known for her provocative clothes and concert choreography, backed out of a concert in Malaysia two years ago after the Islamic party threatened to protest the show. Party officials have not planned any demonstrations for next month's event.

Entertainment company Marctensia, the concert's Malaysian organizer, said Knowles should be regarded as a "role model" and "embodiment of success" because of her heavy involvement in philanthropy work, including campaigns against poverty and domestic violence.

The company also allayed concerns that Knowles would wear inappropriate outfits, saying "all parties have come to an amicable understanding" about stage costumes at the stadium concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's largest city.

"We are confident that (the concert) will once and for all silence international critics and put Malaysia back on track ... in presenting A-list international pop concerts in this region," Marctensia said in a statement.

Other pop stars such as Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani have performed in Malaysia under similar protest threats by conservative Muslims in recent years, forcing the artists to don attire that revealed little skin.

In another recent concert controversy, the government at first barred, then reversed an order forbidding Muslims from attending a Black Eyed Peas concert Friday because it is being sponsored by a beer company.

do you think this statement could save this situation?

i really hope this save the situation now!!! but i wan a "naughty" beyonce on the stage!!!

You are not the only one  we all want to see her on stage
Heck, I'm a malay but I don't give a crap about it! Pas come?
I rather fight the pass people to enter the venue and see beyonce
Now people can think properly. Yet they treat us like cats and dogs 

i think PAS has to be open minded... it's 2009 now, not 1909 dy...  things change, laws change, rules change, regulations change, ppl change, OTAK has to be upgraded, up-to-date also...

i mean, come on...it's art, it's entertainment, it's a profession... dont lar u ask beyonce to wear a t-shirt/baju kurung to dance her Single Ladies. I cant imagine how will it look like...lol

eg. The Muslim used to use the speaker function when they pray(to make it loud, in case u dont know what i mean). If one day, MIC n MCA ban them to use the speaker... then how??? u(muslim) sure will say it's tradition and we used to it dy,it's memang like that since long long time ago... our God assigned us to do so....blar..blar...bar....
Then ppl beyonce also memang wear like that all the time during performance, so y cant she just wear the same way she did in her performance in malaysia??? why???

How bout if suddenly there is rule said that all the girls must cover up like the ninja if they wan to go out...  no skirt, bcoz it expose ur beauty leg to the world, no singlet/sexy clothes bcoz it exposed ur fair skin to the world...

* I respect Muslim for their praying... no harm, no offense here for the above example. anyway just an EXAMPLE...

I, personally still cannot think of why n how n when do PAS can be open-minded, n dont create so much trouble to all those artists. i know there is benefit in doing so(the ban by PAS), it save our ppl, make our mind stay cleaner n so on... BUT, BUTTTTTTT IT SPOILED MALAYSIA's IMAGE IN A WAY. I think it seriously DOES!!!

sorry for the "BAD WORDS/EXAMPLE".....

technically, now is just year 1430 for them 

when pas gonna ban chinese singer?????
