What's The Real Story Behind Beyonce Malaysia No Show?
by Jayar Jackson
The ever popular Beyonce Knowles has abandoned plans to perform her first concert in Malaysia due to “scheduling conflicts.
She is instead set to perform in neighboring Indonesia on the Nov. 1 date previously set for Kuala Lumpur, where the Muslim government is known to require western performers to cover up more than they’re used to.
This new level of comfort would make the 26 year-old diva cover up from the top of her chest to her knees, including her shoulders. Recent speculation says that these guidelines are the catalyst behind the “scheduling conflict” that pushed Beyonce to Indonesia, which is also a Muslim country, but doesn’t have all of the guidelines that exist in Malaysia. Performers can do as they like there, according to the frustrated Chairman of the company responsible for bringing Beyonce in the first place. Many promoters have noted the fact that Western acts have to deal with building pressure from the Malaysian government to keep scantily-clad clothes and sexy dance moves out of their children’s eyes.

Muslim students and activists called for Gwen Stefani’s performance in Kuala Lumpur to be cancelled in August because of her sexy reputation while on stage. Instead of arranging a scheduling conflict, Stefani adhered to the guidelines and wore clothes that revealed little skin, later calling it a “major sacrifice.”
Beyonce must have seen the warning signs of Stefani’s censorship and began to wonder how she could sing, “Don't you see my body? I want to let it out tonight. Wanna party, wanna dance, wanna be myself tonight, me bodied,”and do the Pee-Wee Herman dance at the same time.
If I was there watching her wrapped from chin to toe, I’d be the first asking for a refund. Believe that!
