An opposition party in Malaysia is calling for an upcoming Mariah Carey
concert to be banned because she promotes "un-Islamic principles".
Ahmad Sabki Yusof, leader of the Pan- Malaysian Islamic Party's youth wing,
has written to his government saying: "Everyone knows Mariah Carey presents
herself in a sexy, unacceptable and almost vulgar manner. Allowing such
concerts promotes and condones values that are totally contrary to our way of life and our culture. We don't want immoral values for our children, whether Muslim or not."
Carey has been given permission to perform at a 50,000-seater stadium in Kuala Lumpur on 22 Feb.
