LATEST: Members of an Islamic political party who tried to ban AVRIL LAVIGNE's forthcoming concert in Malaysia have vowed to protest at her show on Friday (29Aug08) after the singer got the go-ahead to perform.
Lavigne was given the green light after her concert had been cancelled following protests from Malaysia's opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), calling the pop star "too sexy" to perform in the Muslim country.
The show was reportedly rejected by the Malaysian government, but was later approved after officials deemed Lavigne was "not a bad influence, especially on the young."
But PAS leader Nasrudin Hassan insists the group will continue to oppose the Canadian singer's performance.
He says, "A concert of this nature is not conducive to teach the younger generation to become good citizens, upright and competitive, but instead would weaken them morally and mentally.
"If the concert organisers do not heed this warning to cancel the concert, PAS youth will order all Muslim youth to turn up and protest the concert in order to prevent it from taking place."
The Sk8er Boi singer is set to take the stage in the country's capital Kuala Lumpur, kicking off a month-long tour of Asia.
