Is PR want to follow BN style? Having a stage show/concert during a ceramah? Lucky they don't get semi nude dancers to perform....

punk is no more than poor qualify souls trying to qualify themselves as musician. they are not musician, only certified noisemaker. any use of expletives no matter what the occasion is not acceptable. the 700 anggota Unit Amal PAS should not have just walked out but should have gone on stage and smashed up all the noise instrument and the noisemaker themselves.

I hate to say this, but PAS' behavior is immaterial and irrelevant here.
Punk Rock bands? I thought the people wanted to formulate and express their demands for lowering of fuel price, and to listen to ideas for solutions to rising prices.
And Carburator Dung? Aren't these guys in the band like 40 years old now or something?
This is what happens when you allow stupid leftists to have a say in organizing this. They will try to recreate Woodstock.

This incident is to be threated as a lesson for us all on how important it is to take into account sensitivity of the crowd expected to be there for the event.
I saw the performance and I would say, personally, it is not to my liking, in this sense , it was I believe a wrong choice or selection made by the organisers to have such a band to perform knowing very well, this event was targeted at families in general. And on top of it, it is co organised with Pakatan Rakyat , of which PAS is an active.
The band on the other hand should have heeded the warnings and toned down accordingly.
Their act is not inline with the objective of the protest.
On the other hand, the people should not have turned unruly themselves.
Dissaisfaction could have been voiced out to the organisers in a constructive manner instead.
Anyhow, the programme went on well after that. But surely ,this one incident will now be played over and over on MSM to paint a wrong picture of the event.
We all wanted to paint the town red yesterday, and that is what was done.
I do hope PAS will forgive the mistake and look forward to a better event organisation and coordination in the future.
In that note, it was not proper either for them to pull out wholesale from the event. The objective of that teams was to safeguard the rakyat. Which they should hae carried out dutifully despite the hesitation after the incident.
I just hope Pakatan Rakyat and NGOs will take into serious consideration the type of performance and activities to be included in their future events.
Anyway, congratulations to the organisers, a good effort in general.
What is important for us as rakyat now is that the agenda or idea of the protest is carried forward.
Let us forget the small incidents and make big things happen shall we?

I am with PAS on this one. Malaysia is not ready for punk rock during family events (though I don't really know if this event was really a family event or more a political event, either way punk rock also not a good choice). The party that is at fault is the organisers who do not appear to have a full grasp of what sort of entertainment should be on display, a real faux pas.
However there are other concerns as well. This incident highlights a crack in PR. It's easy for Unit Amal to pull out but is this the best choice of action? BN will capitalise on this. What else could have been done? For one, certain performance could have been removed form the line up. I wasn't there. Were there many inappropriate acts? If it's just a handful of performers whose sudden absence do not make a big difference in the event, then get rid of them. That way Unit Amal would not need to walk out. Unit Amal's walk out is reasonable but there's a message to be shown here whether all parties work together to make things work or simply walking out when one party is not happy. It's this message that all PR components must face for PR to work. Yes, no one at fault here except the organisers, but is this a reflection of PR when facing crises?

another idiot called james loh...
Unit Amal pulled out from patrolling the event...up to them lah. why forcing them to do something they don't want? the event organiser should be responsible for not adhering to their promise. after all you did not pay a cent for them to do the voluntary work! they are not forcing you to follow their rules...they merely opted out from the voluntary work. up to them la bodoh!

you guys must be real idiots! did you read why Unit Amal pull out? in the meetings before the event, the organisers has promised no gig etc but cultural performance is OK. Unit Amal did not take off when lion dance or bhangra were performed, but they were upset with the organiser who cheated them at point blank. for goodness sake...take your wives and kids and let them watch an underground singer showing off his arse to your wives' face. i am starting to feel tired with these anti-PAS arse holes (the correct way to describe you guys)

I can see some internal conflict in PR now.
Well PAS should have known better, since their de facto leader is a "liberal" man.
Indonesia is quite liberal these days too - read: "Islam recognizes homosexuality" by Abdul Khalik@The Jakarta Post as posted by super admin. (trying to influence malaysia into it?)
Anyway, where is the transparency that PR promotes? PAS appears to be in the dark on some of the programmes.
And PAS seems to be in the dark in a lot of things within Pakatan.
Don't worry, I'm sure the "liberal" Anwar can be trusted.
All of us "trust" Anwar.
It's the only thing we can do. Yes, just trust what he says.
After all he's a politician. We all trust politician.
Same goes to AAB

Well alright, my point is that they shouldn't have pulled out during the event itself. PAS was 'brought in' by the people (voters). If they are not in-line with the organizers, so be it - but don't turn your back on those that had brought you into power! It would be appropiate if they had backed off before the event for eg. the day before.
And particularly:
They could have inquired before the event right? At least, some sorta compromisation could have taken place. It same as, when you got for a camping, you'll check what have you brought before leaving to the campsite.
PAS is against hedonism, 'excessive' entertainment etc - I am not bothered, it's their problem. I just didn't like the idea of them pulling out during the event. It could have been avoided if proper measures have been taken.
written by noblepath, July 07, 2008 06:47:57
local underground performances. The main reason is that it is the opposite of what PAS is fighting for, it is very much against what PAS is fighting for. PAS is very strict against hedonism, or in simple plain Malay, hiburan terlampau. Anything which is too 'rock' is not accepted, only acoustic. [Refer : PAS Youth will boycott PROTES should there be hedonism act ].
Besides, there's also Skuad AMK, not just Unit Amal as the support team (but I'm not really sure if they're really working after all, some spotted them rather as picnicking and taking photos rather than doing jobs. It's when Unit Amal started to disappear from the arena that they quickly cover up the open loopholes.)
Anyway, the concert were very much troubling. Not to say that the music is purely wrong, but the message could be sent in a better way. For instance the jilat issue, it's just too provocating anyhow. FYI this isn't the West, this is Malaysia. Even though the culture level and sensitivity might be at a very low level, but it is not that there's no sense of Eastern culture at all. What Hishamuddin Rais tried to bring into the event was a complete disaster. Now PR shall face humiliation by themselves, especially come tomorrow morning, when the mainstream media newspapers are out.

Well I was there and watched the performance and earlier ones as well. Previous ones are well planned like the lion dance and a couple of bands b4 strumming on acoustic guitar. The Carburetor Dung band just was too much contrast. And I being a non-muslim already found their performance excessive. Especially because that it was a family outing.

Opposing the peformance is alright. But why must they pullout at that particular moment? The decision to pullout definitely sounded immature and was done in haste. These 700 people were suppose to protect the people, why give a shit to a punk peformance for? If at all they are not happy, they should table a discussion after the rally - not pullout AND LET THE RAKYAT FEND THEMSELVES (if anything goes wrong)...

Generally, their music was very expressive of todays problems, which was okay.
But those words that were used in it's lyrics were definitely not suitable to children! or to families!

The hell with all who disagree with what Unit Amal did !! especially "power2u" !!
Tak habis2 nak sebut 'various races' jerr..PAS has tolerated a lot to accomodate all of u..but what have u don't in return to PAS's sacrifices???????
Please keep ur mouth shut lah 'power2u'. Did u actually attended the gathering?? Did u actually heard the music they played?? Huh??
U might think it's not a big deal but look around at the crowds first..there were families with small children who are just learning the meaning of words..and what they got are abusive and dirty words!!
Yeah of course u can express ur true feelings through music using all those negetive expresive words..but do it at a proper venue lah!!
This is a gathering of national interests for God's sake. That's why we don't have Guns n Roses or marylin manson materials for a Merdeka day or Maal Hijrah or even CNY celebration functions!!
Unit Amal has protest to the organizer earlier on but the organizer proceeded anyway. That's why they took off..because taknak bersubahat dgn perkara yg tak elok!!
Think before u say anything!!

Power2u, Alice and daryl,
You guys are real bozos, and narrow minded. It seems you have this pre-conception that anything opposed by Pas is very progressive, anything Pas is out of the world and you are the best.
Were any of you there at the Stadium during the concert? I was there!!! And I wholeheartedly agreed that it was a bastardious concert that should never be allowed to perform.
Don't simply be armchair critics. Don't be coward. Come down and see yourselves before making any judgement.
