Avril Lavigne’s big concert in Malaysia is tomorrow night (Aug 29) and despite getting approval from the government after Islamic protests tried to have her banned, the show will still go on!  However, the Pan Malaysian Islamic Party PAS has said that they will continue to protest, this time outside the venue before it starts.

“A concert of this nature is not conducive to teach the younger generation to become good citizens, upright and competitive, but instead would weaken them morally and mentally,” Nasrudin Hassan of the pan Malaysian Islamic Party PAS said in a statement.  “If the concert organisers do not heed this warning to cancel the concert, PAS youth will order all Muslim youth to turn up and protest the concert in order to prevent it from taking place.”

The Malaysian government has allowed the concert to take place on the condition that it was “not a bad influence, especially on the young.”

Now all you Malaysian Avril fans MUST leave a comment and tell us what’s going on over there!!

Despite protests demanding that Avril Lavigne be banned from performing in Malaysia by PAS Youth in early August, reports say that “Everything is moving very positively. We have spoken to the authorities involved and things look good. We’ve organized the show according to the rules. There is nothing wrong. We’ve reached positive and assuring feedback from the authorities.”

Avril was being protested by the Federal Territory PAS Youth group because, according to PAS Youth chief Kamaruzaman Mohamed, “rock and punk are not suitable for the young generation, especially so during the Merdeka month.”

The show will go on, however, on August 29, 2008 at Stadium Merdeka at 8pm![Source]
