Despite strong resentment from the opposition parties in Malaysia the central government has gone ahead and given a concert to be staged by singer Rihanna the go ahead. The concert slated to be held on February 13th shall happen as per schedule.
This was confirmed by the Malaysian minister for art, culture and heritage Mr. Datuk Seri Mohd. that the concert will be held at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
That really some news for the singer cos’ if I am correct then this show was supposed to be held late last year when she was on a world tour and she had successful shows in Australia and other south east Asian countries too were very receptive to her music but Malaysia opposed her holding a concert.
That because she refused to wear traditional clothes and the government thought it would be a bad influence on the young generation. And now in a few months her dresses would suddenly not be a bad influence. Completely double standards for the connivance of the government and event organizers.
