Artists snubbing Malaysia? Then Muslims have succeeded, PAS man claims
(MMO) – A PAS representative claimed yesterday that Malaysians should rejoice since international artists are choosing to skip Malaysia by performing in neighbouring countries instead, since they are “spared” from “wild entertainment”.
Following a report claiming the decline in international musicians performing here, cleric Riduan Mohamad Nor said such news is a positive development for most Muslims in the country that they have allegedly succeeded in practising their religion.
“If the excuse that religious conservatism is the reason why such sponsorships are falling causing popular artists failing to hold concerts in Malaysia, then that is a success for Muslims here,” said the PAS central committee member in HarakahDaily.
Riduan claimed that the development is proof that concert sponsors have realised that Malaysia is not a free and open country.
