Call off concerts or we’ll take to the streets: PAS youth chief

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – PAS remains adamant over cancelling scheduled concerts by international artistes, otherwise the Islamist party is threatening to hold protests nationwide.

Party youth chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari said these concerts are going against the norms and values of Muslims in Malaysia and that hedonism should not be allowed to spread.

He also urged supporters to ensure that this “protest” is heard by Seri Perdana – referring to the prime minister’s official residence in Putrajaya.

“PAS Youth is hoping that the government and relevant ministers consider cancelling and rescinding the approvals given to such concerts.

“It is not the right time and goes against Islam,” he said in a statement on Facebook today.

This is not the first time Pasir Mas MP Fadhli is against concerts by international artistes.

He had said the continuous hosting of concerts was “crazy work” that invites “God’s wrath”.
