Malaysia Not Entirely Sweet on Stefani
Gwen Stefani apparently isn’t everyone’s favorite girl in Malaysia. A Muslim students group that objects to the pop star’s sexy style and come-hither lyrics is pushing to have Stefani’s first-ever concert in Kuala Lumpur scrapped before the spotlights have a chance to shine. “Her video clips promoting the event are too obscene,” Mohamad Hilmi Ramli, president of the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students has said. “We want the organizers to cancel the concert, failing which we will ask the authorities to intervene.” Well most Muslims are very strict about what they like and what they do not want to allow happening in their country, despite Malaysia being a rapidly developing economy and being a leading tourist destination in Asia, perhaps it’s not yet willing to open up so much to international performance by western artist. She is currently playing in Australia and will have to complete the Asian leg of tour without a performance in Kuala Lumpur.
