Beyonce to brave Malaysia despite protest

Beyonce’s concert in Malaysia will go ahead despite protests from an Islamic political party that her concerts were immoral and unclean.
In 2007, the bootilicious American sensation cancelled concerts in Malaysia for fears of protest. But the concert is set for October 25 at the Bukit Jalil national stadium despite the objections of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic party [PAS].
Beyonce Knowles’s tour organiser announced the concert would go ahead on its website but could not be reached for comment.
The PAS party called for Danish band Michael Learns To Rock to be banned from performing earlier this month on the basis of Muslim fasting during Ramadan. But the group went ahead and performed without incident.
PAS remained opposed to Beyonce, telling a wire service on Sunday: “We oppose the holding of such concerts and we will take action to prevent such a concert from taking place in Malaysia. This performance is not suitable for Muslims as her skimpy attire and behaviour onstage are immoral and lead to unclean behaviour.”
