PAS Youth wants Avril's concert banned. The Malaysian Artistes’ Association (Karyawan) calls the move "ridiculous".

Sigh, another day, another possible ban of a concert in Malaysia. According to The Star, PAS Youth has called for the ban of Avril's concert here scheduled for 29 August, citing that "punk and rock is not suitable for the younger generation, especially during Merdeka month".

Avril's organisers have commented that the punk princess will dress accordingly during her performance here, so we'll wait for more news on the verdict and keep you updated.

Update as of 18 August: Organisers of the Avril concert in Kuala Lumpur, Galaxy Group assures the public that the show will go on. A spokesman for the organiser said, “Everything is moving very positively. We have spoken to the authorities involved and things look good.” Read the full report in The Star

How is Ms. Lavigne punk, pray tell? Pirate skulls & Bonez?

She is marketing, a big business (re: cheap looking fashion for teens who want to look 'fierce), stylised to seemingly relate to 'teen angst'. huh, really angst ah, or poseurs who want to be angry at something because emogurl is kewl/fashionable? I'm glad she is inspiring to them, but the girls should

Please look at 1970s lesbian punk bands lor, The Slits, X-Ray Spex, etc. KEKE lavigne.

houser said

hahahah.. avril won't get banned. too many powerful corporations involved in this one. HOORAY FOR BIG COMPANY MONEY! but there goes our youth and moral standards. i'm sure the concert will end up being a giant orgy with everybody naked. see la. sure got a lot of illegitimate babies after this show in 9 months. don't go to the show without protection or a shower.

Hahahahah! If Avril's punk, then Simple Plan is screamo. Damn PAS youth. Stupid. Did you guys read the papers? The guy says that he's still trying to comprehend what her lyrics are about. Stupid asses. Avril shouldn't be banned. They let MCR perform and they want to ban Avril? Stupid.

Many ppls were talking about this on youtube and else where, ppls get mad at this stupid decision made by PAS YOUTH! Ppl, why don't we go protest upon this in a peaceful way? I believed they will come up with more ridiculous idea next time if we just keep quiet...
Just my 2 cents!
