The Malaysian government has cancelled a planned Avril Lavigne concert in Kuala Lumpar on 29 Aug because she's just too damn sexy for them. The country's Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry says it decided to cancel the show after it received complaints by the youth wing of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party that the show would promote the wrong values ahead of Malaysia's independence day on 31 Aug. However, promoters Galaxy Group will be allowed to request a new date for the show, which was due to kick of Lavigne's world tour.
A spokesman for the Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry said: "It is not timely. It's not in the good spirit of our National Day. If we go ahead with the concert, it is contrary to what we are preparing for".
Strict rules for Western performers in Malaysia mean that all performers must be covered from the chest to their knees, and must refrain from jumping, shouting, kissing or hugging on stage. These rules have already forced Christina Aguilera and Beyonce to cancel or move shows, and a performance by the Pussycat Dolls got the organizers hit with a $3000 fine after the group were accused of indecency.
