Beyonce is coming to Malaysia!

YES people. BEYONCE KNOWLES will be coming to KL to perform! End of October! Mark it down in your calenders!

I cannot tell you how excited I am about her coming here! Though its one week before my finals, I am still going! Its really really gonna be good!

Been reading in the news about certain parties protesting and being against her coming to Malaysia because of her supposed "sexy image and clothing". like WTH right?! If they're gonna make a big fuss out of Beyonce, what more if Lady Gaga is coming?

These people really have nothing better to do than to ruin my highlight of the year?! I seriously cannot fathom their ignorance. Here's what I think!

1) Education begins at home.

If you're so afraid your kids will get influenced by Beyonce's concert, then don't frikking allow them to go lah. And if all it takes is a Beyonce concert to sway your kids over to the "dark" side, then I'm sorry to say you've been a lousy parent to not have instilled good moral values into your kids.

2)Let me quote what that nincompoop of a PAS official had to say.

“We are not against entertainment as long as it is within the framework of our culture and our religion. We are against Western sexy performances. We don’t think our people need that.”

What an insult to my intelligence. You don't think your people need sexy western performances but it is all over the media anyway. What makes you think protesting to a Beyonce concert will make your people less succeptible to the draw of western culture? How ironic it is that as we're supposedly progressing towards a becoming a globalized nation, many a time, we prefer to take a step back and look inwards instead of looking out. Malaysia is after all a multiracial, multireligious, multicultural nation, no?

I mean seriously. If you're talking about "sexy images and clothing", shouldn't you worry more about pornography? Where its all about SEX and the absence of clothing. Sholdn't these idiots be wasting their time trying to censor internet pornography instead of protesting to a world class, talented performer coming? I would be more worried about my kids watching porn on the internet than attending a Beyonce concert.



Sheesh!
