PAS objects to Adam Lambert concert October 11, 2010
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 – PAS today demanded that authorities cancel a planned concert by US glam rocker Adam Lambert that they say is promoting “gay culture” in the mainly Muslim country.PAS has also threatened to call “as many of its members and supporters” to proselytise to concert-goers if the performance by the former “American Idol” runner-up goes ahead on Thursday, a party official said.
“Adam Lambert’s shows... are outrageous, with lewd dancing and a gay performance that includes kissing male dancers, this is not good for people in our country,” said PAS Youth leader Nasrudin Hasan. Homosexual sex is a criminal offence in Malaysia.
PAS is Malaysia’s second-largest political party with close to a million members and is a partner in a rainbow opposition grouping led by former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
Foreign acts often draw protests from PAS, which since 2007 has campaigned against performances by singers including Beyonce, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne and Mariah Carey.
Police in May broke up a demonstration by Islamists including PAS supporters protesting against a concert by US rapper Pitbull, underscoring a deepening tide of Islamic conservatism in the country.
An official from the Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry was reported saying that the singer had signed a contract agreeing to abide by the ministry’s rules on performances, which can require foreign performers to tone down their acts to suit local sensibilities. – Reuters
p/s Budaya Kuning dah cukup banyak di Malaysia nie. Dgn membawa selebriti yg mempromosi budaya Gay akan menyemarakkan lagi gejala gay di Malaysia.
Adam Lambert sekali jer buat silap camtu... itupun dia dah mintak maap. Lepas kejadian kat AMA tu, dia dah takder buat gimik pelik2 atas pentas.. so aku rasa takder salahnya pun. Sama macam Faizal Tahir bukak baju waktu perform. Bukankah dia dah kena denda dan mintak maaf, lepas tu dia ada buat lagi ker? Kenapa tiap kali FT nak perform korang tak cakap "promote budaya bukak baju" pulak?

Adam Lambert to make 'minor adjustments' to concert after Malaysian group says he promotes 'gay culture'

The latest celeb to tackle a big issue on the micro-blogging site is Adam Lambert, who tweeted a response this afternoon to complaints made by Malaysian opposition group leading up to his scheduled Thursday night performance.
The Pan Malaysian Islamic Party recently called for the cancellation of Lambert’s concert in the country, saying he and his show promoted “gay culture,” according to reports. Lambert responded today, tweeting: “While I don’t believe that my glamnation tour is in any way offensive I have agreed to make a few minor adjustments out of respect for the Malaysian government.”
He followed up his (rather mild) response with:
Does my show ‘promote the gay lifestyle’? It promotes living ANY lifestyle that includes the freedom to seek love and intimacy. Gay, straight, bi, young or old. It’s all inclusive….Plus, what’s THE gay lifestyle? There isn’t just one. There are so many different kinds of gay people. We have a variety of different lifestyles. There’s not only one lifestyle lived by straight folks. Generalizing….
Lambert is no stranger to criticism here in the States, either. Last year, his racy performance on the American Music Awards — in which he simulated a sex act on stage — resulted in backlash from the FCC and the network. (He later kind of apologized for the incident.)
Just don't give up I'm workin it out
Please don't give in, I won't let you down
And there's nothing wrong with you
It's me, I'm a freak (yeah)
but thanks for lovin' me
Cause you're doing it perfectly
