It seems like the much touted Beyonce debut concert here in Malaysia would not happen after all. At least that’s what MalaysiaKini has reported yesterday. Insiders said that the cancellation was due to Beyonce’s fears that her debut concert would be protested by some Muslim groups here in Malaysia.
That’s interesting. Which Muslim groups were they referring to?
Osama Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda?
PAS?
UMNO Hadhari?
Hmm… As a Muslim, I’m not all disappointed with Beyonce’s decision to cancel her debut concert. At the same time, I’m impressed with Beyonce’s show of respect for Muslims here in Malaysia. At least she got the decency to know that her debut concert might offend Malaysian Muslims and she made the decision to back out.
Thank you for your kind consideration, Beyonce!
By the way, I would like to remind our Muslim groups that they should not focus too much on foreign artists and superstars. Our own backyard is full with filth and we should clean ours first beforehand.
Just take a look at that silly reality television shows, Akademi Fantasia and Gangstarz for examples. Majority of their participants and viewers are Muslims, Malaysian Malay (Melayu) Muslims to be precise. Such reality television shows clearly made mockery of Muslims here in Malaysia. Their mockery is cleverly hidden under the pretext of entertainment and every foolish Malaysian Muslims were fooled like sheep. :-(
So please get your acts together and clean our own backyard first, Muslim groups!

We have been following your blog and like your up-to-date sock-it-to-them give-me-the-truth-dun-hide-and-lie style which is quite unbecoming of as you say a Malay Muslim. But try as we may we cannot fathom how you could go against this deeply ingrained malay psyche since the day you were born as a Malay Muslim and presumably grew up around Muslims .
because we firmly believe the beliefs hold dear by them ( right or wrong we don't know of course )is incompatible with modern straighforward thinking , just you have demonstrated ! does that mean you are unislamic or what !
for heaven's sake! Come down from your lofty 'holier than thou' cloud and face reality.
Beyonce's cancellation is simply because she does not have to put up with stupid requirements from authorities that always preach form over substance.
If she is so offensive, don't buy the tickets...you do have a choice. If you are so holy, don't go..simple as that.
but yeah...the local ones are no better...and if the authorities are so concerned over all this skimply clothing, all they have to do is go round the discos in Jln P Ramlee and catch a multitude of 'skimpys'...and no guessing who are the culprits!
Dear team bsg,
I would not say totally incompatible. There are many things about Islam that are quite friendly with today's thoughts. Truly!
The problem with the Malay Muslims today is that they have mixed up culture and religion. In another word, they have made 'rojak' out of today's secular thoughts and Islam. We cannot simply mix and match religion with cultural trends and values.
By the way, being modern doesn't mean that Muslims today can say that it is okay to consume martini and brandy, wear skimpy clothings or go naked on the beach over in Port Dickson. That's not modernism, that's stupidity!
Instead of focusing on Akademi Fantasia, entertainers, so called sinners/heathens/whatever, maybe you should start analyzing the most unislamic body of all.
The government.
Of course anonymous,
The current ruling government is the number One culprit and hypocrite. :-)
