This is the latest of the concerts cancelled because they are deemed not suitable for the eyes (and ears) of our people. Not that I am Avril's fan though I do listen to her songs ... can't help it since they are played so often on the radio, can I?Same went for Gwen Steffani's concert last year if memory serves me, right. At the rate the authorities are going, they'd be cancelling 80% of the concerts in no time. Seems the youngsters will do drugs, go rempit, binge on alcohol if they enjoy themselves at the concert. The authorities say they are doing the responsible thing by cancelling such concerts. So here they are harping on the holier than thou thingy while failing to make sure that their very own backyard is kept clean of hanky panky stuff .... so this is the typical trumpeting of upholding moral values when sendiri punya moral values are full of holes.
Anyway, maybe they have forgotten that we live in an internet age...there're more negative influence there than an open concert. In the confines of four walls, more negative things can take place than in an open field of the concert. So, shouldn't we ban the internet also then? After all, you can download Avril Lavigne, Gwen Steffani and countless other 'worse' entertainers into your computer and view them at will as many times as you want.
Even unsolicited sms to your mobile phone have worse effects.. lately I've been getting lots of messages asking to subsribe to sexy babes and other porn stuff. So why aren't the authorities looking into such abuses? This is also out in the open and they're getting more blatant about it. Just in case they have forgotten, they're plenty of young mobile phone users out there. Now wouldn't the young people be influenced to have their own orgies and what have you not because of such easy availability...right to their doorstep (mata) some more? Sometimes, I wonder why our authorities are so myopic!
Whatever it is, negative influences....they're there, they're as old as the human race.
