The Malaysian government has given the green light to Rihanna’s concert at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil Feb. 13, and the kids will be out in force for it – namely the Federal Territory PAS Youth, which will demonstrate against it.
“We are considering the best possible way to object to this concert, probably through a demonstration or by handing out pamphlets,” PAS Youth chief Kamaruzaman Mohamad told the country’s Star newspaper. Talk about taking an oath and sticking to it.
“Rihanna’s image including her dressing is not suitable for our culture.”
He added that even if she wore a headscarf, it wouldn’t be her “real self.” A memorandum has been sent to the Religious Affairs Department to have standard guidelines for concerts, he said.
