There was a mention of Malaysia on MSN news yesterday and it was for a very silly reason. The coverage was about Gwen Stefani being compelled to "cover up" during her concert there.
Well, to begin with, I was surprised that she was allowed to perform "live" there. Quite a vixen, she's used to showing lots of skin, even during her pregnancy. She looks great, of course. And at least she doesn't have the habit of driving with a suspended license, or drink driving or checking in and out of rehab centres like some celebrities we know.
Apparently, she appeared before her cheering fans on stage donning a black leotard under a white short-sleeved shirt and black-and-white striped hot pants suit, with black gloves up to her elbows. Pretty modest, huh? Stefani described the wardrobe modification as a "major sacrifice"! Ha ha. Well, at least she had the grace to do it.
She was in Melbourne as part of her tour recently. Naturally, there were no such silly restrictions on her stage costumes. Fans were just thrilled she was here.
Pressure to cover up is not a new issue in Malaysia. It's so overdone and doesn't really serve any purpose. Well, people reading the news flash online must think Malaysia a most backward and strange country. And who am I to say it isn't?

Have you noticed that fer a country with such severe restrictions, the porn industry here is fookin HUGE! Porn DVD vendors are everywhere - hawker centres, 4D shops, nite markets etc. Bet u don't find yer kids openly exposed to such smut in Melbourne. Ever wonder why?
anfield,
that's because for the overwhelming majority of those who are in positions of authority here In Malaysia, their true religion is money.
They worship that more than any other gods.
Those other gods get prayed to only at certain times during the day. Money is revered around the clock.
ironic isnt it? the more you cover, the more exposure there is. like julian said, it's all about money.
there are adult shops everywhere here in melbourne but no porn dvd vendors. cool isn't it?
eh, Miss69, maybe u should approach some of these adult shops & see whether they'd advertise on yer blog site, given its ultra kinky moniker!
Could really help yer finances, u know. . .
I will, err, seriously consider that.

It does quite sound like the memoirs of a porn queen or something similar...
