It's the first time Avril Lavigne come to Malaysia for a concert!
You know what our government did?
1) They said, Avril Lavigne is way too sexy, it would not give a good example to the younsters' mind, so BANNED! NO CONCERT!
2) They said, Avril Lavigne do a lot of jumping & shouting on the stage, so BANNED!
NO CONCERT!
3) They said again, Avril Lavigne's concert is 2days before the independence day, so BANNED! NO CONCERT!!!!!
GRRR!!!! I'm so damn hate this Malaysia government!!!
I mean they let their local rock stars do the jumping shouting yet not get banned???
You feel this reasons given by the government reasonable enough???
Avril too sexy? I mean since when Avril has sexy???
This is really The Best "DAMN" Tour!

But the thing is, Malaysia has different culture ppl.
We have Malays, Chinese, Indians, and many more
But the Malays which is Muslim government banned it
Just because of them, no concert

That is pretty crazy. I understand why you and other Avril fans would be upset. I don't think she acts sexy either. I think she's a strong, successful woman who's a good role model for others.
I can't imagine that happening here in the US.

It seems that your government finally allowed her to perform. I've been following this news from your country lately. Its shameful that the government is constantly inconsistent with their rulings. Like what you mention, the local artist can do the so-called "immoral activities" in their country but not the foreigners. That's plain hypocrisy.

i'm sorry to hear that sherlince.
if you got cash to burn you can see avril's concert here in manila. it'll be on sept 3. anyway, i got to watch her first concert here. she was with simple plan so it was a good concert. i got in for free since i know record labels from both bmg and warner philippines. lol!
i don't think i'd be watching the concert on sept 3 but i heard that there are still a lot of tickets remaining. anyway, you might want to give it a try.
cheers!

I've read that news and I really think its ridiculous. No offense to Malaysian government. But Avril Lavigne is a performer, what do they expect?! And their reasons.. And what is wrong with performing 2 days before independence day?! and what is wrong with the jumping?!
