Sunburst

Okay. What Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne, Rihanna, Pussycat Dolls and Beyonce Knowles have got in common?

All of them was banned from performing in Malaysia (At least, initially).

Yes, Avril was allowed proceed with her concert days before Merdeka.

And Pussycat Dolls' escaped when their promoter, Absolute Entertainment paid a RM10 000 "indecency fine". Know what Absolute Entertainment did to deserve this fine? For allowing the female US act to perform "sexually suggestive" routines which amount to "gross indecency". Hahaha these chicks are simply too hot for the Malaysians!

And then, Linkin Park were banned from wearing shorts during their 2003 concert in Malaysia.

Mariah Carey was being asked to comply with "dress regulations".

So, Gwen Stefani revealed only next to no skin during her tour to Malaysia.

But Beyonce is way smarter. She dumps her debut concert in Malaysia, so to avoid being entangled in the mess.

And the recent one, after their tremendous show at KL Sunburst, the group members of NERD were detained and their passports held. However, Malaysian authorities denied this. Fortunately, after some negotiations they are released because their promoters claim responsibility.

I wonder, who's next?

p/s : Sooner, when AirAsia tickets is cheap enough (READ : cheaper than cheap) and the flights are frequent, let's just fly to Singapore to watch any concerts, rather than requesting any promoters to organize any in Malaysia.
