Rihanna Concert Protested In Malaysia

Rihanna's concert stop in Malaysia as a part of the 'Good Girl Gone Bad' tour may not be happening -- even after she agreed to tone down her outfit for the showing.

The Pan Malaysian Islamic Party is demanding that Rihanna be banned from performing in the country due to her sexy outfits and the fact that funds from the concert would go to firms in the United States."Whether Rihanna realises it or not, we know that the taxes she has paid also contributed to the war in Gaza," says Kamaruzaman Mohamad, a PAS youth wing leader.

Kamaruzaman said that the show planned for February 13, part of Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" tour, would be an insult to Asian values as she often performed suggestively and wore skimpy outfits.

The event was "akin to insulting Eastern culture, belittling local artistes, internationally causing losses to the country's economy and supporting Israel's war policy, which is supported by America," he said.

This is a tad unfair, but in a country that could care less about women's right -- what can you really expect.
