No More Hey Hey You You!

Merdeka Merdeka~ Malaysia Boleh once again. For those who have bought Avril Lavigne's concert tickets, I can feel your anger, frustration and sadness. Avril Lavigne's concert has been cancelled at the very last minute. Thanks to who? This time, the culprit making the headline is the Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Shafie Apdal (I don't even know he exists).

You can visit this link for further information but I can tell you, its all rubbish excuses. Its the same as the incident when Man Utd tour to Malaysia was cancelled to make way for the Asian Cup and I was so bloody frustrated that time. Check out the story here.

Among the lame excuses given were:-

a) the concert falls during the nation's independence period and was not a suitable time to hold such a concert.

b) the Ministry does not want the independence and the near Ramadan month to be filled with such pop and rock culture.

c) we should be instilling good culture in the young.

WTF, rite? In a way, they are saying everything related to Avril is a bad culture and those under 18 should not be listening to her songs and its affecting those celebrating Ramadan. I think they would prefer you guys to stick to Barney and Friends or Teletubbies songs.

The Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister has planned for many events for Aug 29th and he does not want the concert to "steal the limelight" from his events, therefore he cancelled it. But would you guys be that patriotic to attend even if Avril's not coming at the first place? Feel free to criticise me for not being patriotic because I don't even feel like celebrating this year's National Day, thanks to those rulling bastards angels running the country.

If Avril is such a bad culture and threat to Malaysia's culture, why allow the sale of Avril's CDs and they should ban people like Kanye West or Will.I.Am who goes around singing if you are ugly, that's because your mother is ugly.

If Avril agrees to sing and perform by wearing baju kurung throughout the whole concert, I think Minister Shafie Apdal would change his mind.

If this kind of lame shit goes on with other international artists, Malaysia will be the first country that they will blacklist and everyone now must go to Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore or Hong Kong to catch these international stars.

Noob Fella.
