Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party wants Beyonce Banned, Bey Postpones

Like I said before, Beyonce should have released a statement saying she would comply with Malaysian customs if she so chooses to go there. I still feel that way although I feel that if Beyonce is not going to be safe there, she shouldn’t go! The promoters must have not had that security in place.. .thats what I am thinking.. here is the official word…

US singer Beyonce Knowles has postponed her concert in Malaysia planned for this weekend, organisers said Monday, denying that the move was linked to threats of protests by Muslim groups.

The R&B star was scheduled to perform on Sunday at a stadium on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, two years after she cancelled her debut concert here amid fears of protests by conservative Muslim groups.

“The postponement is solely the decision of the artiste and has nothing to do with other external reasons,” the event organiser Marctensia said in a statement.

It said a new date for the concert will be announced “shortly” and more details will be released this week.

The conservative Pan-Malaysian Islamic party (PAS), which has called for a ban on Beyonce’s performance, said the event should be cancelled outright rather than merely be postponed.

“We are not against entertainment, but it’s the way she performs — her gyrating moves on stage and her sexy outfits. It will erode the moral values of our young people,” PAS youth chief Nasruddin Hassan Tantawi told AFP.

The concert was part of Beyonce’s “I am…” world tour, which has seen her perform in North America and Europe. (Source)
