Well, if you were looking forward to not just the Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix, but also the F1 Rocks in Malaysia event in KL this weekend, you’re going to have to do without the latter.
The gig, which was supposed to feature Kylie Minogue and American R&B artiste Kelis as well as other acts such as James Baum and Reshmonu, has been called off. Event organisers Enterprise Entertainment issued a simple release on the matter, stating that due to unforeseen circumstances its events scheduled for March 23-24 have been cancelled.
No idea what the unforseen circumstances are, but there you are, no music for you later this week; you’ll just have to make do with the race proper.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I’m guessing permit problem. Maybe Kylie was too sexy for Malaysia? Someone better call Yuna!
PERKASA ask Rais to stop them from coming.
Because of PAS ????
i already guess this is a stereotype of malaysian that will come out for this particular cases. paultan (or anyone), i think better for you to stick on automotive news. this is not really an automotive news.
it only create unnecessary hates.
Duh..if you think this is not a appropriate post, then go read something else..Malaysia should be a democratic country and shouldn’t ask someone else to stick to your own RULES!
Best regards,
Obama
President of United States
hello obama!
i hope moderator carefully check the comment here some look insulting other people religion
it’s a contract dispute between Petronas and Enterprise Entertainment Ltd, the London-based company responsible for the F1 Rocks entertainment extravaganza. nothing to do with religious body.
stupid people assume stupidly and quickly jump into his/her own stupid conclusions.
Finally, someone who’s intelligent! =)
Ok , so now Perkasa got what they wanted I suppose :)
What!! This is unacceptable! Kylie baby, gonna miss that sweet ass of yours.
40+ old still sweet ass. You got a taste.
ever heard of MILF? obviously you haven’t had one. LOL
Yea. MILF. Too much wind.
she’s sure hotter than most malaysian’s wives LOL
im younger than her and i still have her as my dreamgirl. or dreamwoman. MILF!
Reminds me of New Year this year in Johor…
LOL malaysia… always full of shit
Yeah correct
Bro there’s a difference between Malaysia being full of shit & the government full of shit. Malaysia’s one of the best countries to be in where we do not need to worry about natural disasters and full of natural resources.
Well, the government represents Malaysia… whether the government is full of shit, they are making the whole country full of shit. People only perceive the whole Malaysia and not the government.
Dunno about u …
But I do consider a LOUSY GOVERNMENT a kind of disaster as well …. even worse…. ITS NOT A NATURAL ONE.
u r always welcomed to be a singaporean citizen
The concert is the only reason that I would go for F1…..damn!
stupid org…giving lame excuses all the time, our neighbour singapore is stealing the spotlight!!!
Hey Singapore knows how to get the job done. Get yr voting fingers ready mates, its gonna be a fight!
We are becoming more like the west where we spend too much time on entertainment.
Malaysia …. a land full of resources and OPPORTUNITY for great things to happen …
Sadly, the people who run it, mix religion and politics in every freaking thing they do…
Want to do a so called WORLD CLASS EVENT …. yet having problems with SMALL MINDEDNESS … SO PATHETIC ….This is NOT the first time ….
Remember what happened to Beyonce and Eryka Badu recently? and what was their reasoning ?
This is so disappointing and my heart is broken…
U may find that those western divas (Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga) are touring other Islamic countries eg. UAE, Turkey, Indonesia, and Israel but not Malaysia… Why are we calling our nation a modern and modest Islamic country but in fact it’s not ???
Can the authority foresee how much are we loosing out in terms of tourism and entertainment industry???
You non-muslim never understand.
What I don’t really understand is why always have excuses to make a big fuss over some small matter. Banning this and that, cancel up everything…
If you really think the concert does harm on your religion, just forbid all Muslim from entering the concert, but not always cancel up everything at the last minute!!!
making “diva” like lady gaga performing concert makes malaysia modern country? seems legit. indon is so modern. kahkahkah.
After the last concert fiasco I think these artistes decided to give Bolelhland a miss. They don’t want to face the same hassles. They can make back the money somewhere else.
Perharps because of this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlDpCWCAptY&feature=player_embedded
Shame shame shame on you SIC..k !!
Wonder is Bernie Ecclestone will re consider Msia
in its future plans.
:(
This is NOT a SIC event you bodoh … sheesh
Wow some dude said Kylie a sweet ass he he he…such a Cougar fan eh??
Anyway how about bring some Nasyid band or M Daud Kilau to perform at F1? Sure approved punya…
Sepang F1 should ban sale of beers there too…some beers looks like soft drinks Zapple…kalau tersalah minum…ughhh
talk as in F1 is owned by Malaysia….this is international event…ppl wanting more of some international artist….serving more acceptable food and drinks…
sick….just like the KFC punching issue….surfing around Malaysia forum and you can see ‘many’ talking as in the whole international KFC own by ‘them’…
F1 doesn’t need Malaysia that much…Malaysia needs F1…..
Malaysians worked so hard and deserves some entertainment. Is this what you call good governance? Everyone is mature enough to make their own choice and face his or her consequences as we are all adults. BN/UMNO please do not divert us with this silly issue, we have not forgotten all the unsolved scandals or mess you have created
Rais yatim must have spotted a tattoo on Ms Kylie that was deemed “offensive”, but more probably due to organizers running out of budget…
I’m really surprised with your comment there Lim Kopi especially the controversy with Eryka Badu.. totally lack of information and sensitivity!
oh ok then ….. so what is it that you know that I don’t?
Bunch of tattoos is not good influence for malaysia audience …
To me, its simple, end of the day we are losing behind our neighbours on trying to stage international events….due to ppl with SMALLER MINDS.
I love my country and want to see it DO WELL …. and not be a laughing stock among the world scene.
So Please do enlighten me….
do yours mind smaller?
Malaysian religion association. You all know which religion. Always making a big fuss over this kind if small matters. We can our country is walking bak to stoneage. This cannot that cannot. This haram that illegal. Omg…. Dont they have better things to do? Like how to help the country make money? Or improve citizen’s quality of life.
Wow!! I can reply with some venomous words there Mr. John but that will make me just like you. RESPECT is our word today. Enjoy your life.
Well, wouldn’t it be respect if they would let those who are not of this religion do what they want? I don’t mind them doing to their people whatever they want, I respect that. Am I telling them to loosen up and drink alcohol? No. But just because I live in the same country they want to control me too.
Migrate to singapore then.
PLS GO BACK TO INDON THEN….SMART…
It is not a mature thing to say. If you claim multiculturalism, then you must practice multiculturalism.
Nope. That is wrong. What is totally right is pls migrate to CHINA……
Then all should go back to their own islands, as the real Malaya was half own by thai and the bottom half own by india, before prince parameswara (escaping home courts problems) came to malaya then go on to found city of lion, and the english who later gave us two (plus two) more state.
Migrate to china??Hahaha! dont make me laugh• why not u balik where ur moyang came from?pls respect others.. Calling ppl bk to their ancestral land is rude.
Ah come on… Singapore is almost as prude as Malaysia, just that they don’t have any religion which justifies it.
You want freedom, go to Europe.
PaulTan… just remove this type of post…
All the immature/ insensitive comments might drag into unnecessary hatred…
Just repost it until you get the exact reason why the cancel it…
this is not really about automotive matter…
better delete this threat or post…
removing the post won’t make the ppl change their thinking about the issue.
After all, this event is planned to help in conjunction with the F1 race, so it’s partly an unto post.
Just face it, this is Malaysia!
I disagree…
Keep this sort of post …. it shows the ugly truth about Malaysia
And what the Govt and People should together do to stop it ….
It just gives us a reflection into our REAL PROBLEMS …. which Hiding it isn’t gonna help!
Stop making this all POLITICAL. It is not. The truth is the UK organiser pulled out for LOUSY reasons. Stop politics ok. Wait for the truth.
its the truth…no one is blind to see light of the truth!!!
perhaps the light of truth is organizer got no moneh!budget over shoot perhaps…and last saturday rave in sepang was a blast!
Yup … NO MONEY … that is why. So what more politics do the above people want to talk? Small minded Malaysians.
This is exactly the reason why I take my time and money to Singapore every year to watch the F1 race, the concerts and festivities. Never turned back since the first time I went there.
Well, to be honest this year Chingay was utter rubbish in Singapore, while the JB one was really good.
then why not take a step further and change your nationality.
Nas-T you are so childish….you have to admit that ppl are doing better than us…not just lying to ourselves that our grass is greener….this type of you tak suka you pergi mentality is dragging you to improve.
But you already give up on Malaysia. “Never turned back since the first time I went there.” What was that suppose to mean?
why is it almost all your posts are just about asking people to leave the country? don’t be childish and try to grow up and think maturely. if every capable man / woman leaves this country.. it’s us the layman and our future generation will suffer. think globally and not just about yourselves..
I seconded that! Why waste money on Malaysia? Just go to Singapore!
hahahah, auto blog becoming racial blog pulak…..
This shows how childish mind react to a legitimate debate. dont get emotional. Grow up and be rationale.
that’s why kylie past 2 concert never come to malaysia, really shit!
Come on. Please respect each other. So what if concerts like this is banned? At least there will be less drunk people & inappropriate behaviour. Is it wrong for the country to not approve permits for events such as this? In other countries, they just serve alcohol & get drunk without caring of the sensitivities of others who don’t drink. But we don’t go and shout screaming, we want to go elsewere etc. If u want to go to singapore, then just go. If u want to get drunk & waste time in concerts such as this, then go elsewhere. Just draw a limit to what you comment about other religions. Have some respect.
Actually, Kylie is famous of being NOT related to any kind of bad habits (drogs, alcohol, smoking, tattoos, etc.). She is not a christian missionary or something, but always open for true positive acts and feelings. Her main offer is human LOVE (in the general sense), and a creative, optimistic view of the world, that she radiates to everybody! She is crystalline! And for the same reason, in her concerts there are NO any kind of criminality! (I think the cancellation of the Anti-Tour concert is a big loss to the Malaysian fans.)
Malaysian Gomen wants all of to sit at home and watch local concerts on TV1, TV2 and TV3…
I’ve heard they have been having trouble getting the masses to BUY (like with their own money) the F1 race tickets. Thats why they don’t have enough $$$$ to cover these artistes?
Maybe they shud have merged the last weeks Future Music Fest together with F1. To solve the parking problem of both events at the same time, just bulldoze a few more oil palm trees >:P
F1 Rocks was supposed to be a free concert to be held at KLCC, not at the race.
Ha… undi sangat PAS… hahaha….
it not like F1 Rocks is the only concert that weekend. I’m pretty there hundred of concert and after party for you guy to come and get wasted like there no tomorrow.
I’m pretty sure* damn typo.
i knew it all the time. U ppl are racists. Everytime also blame the official religion of the country if things dont go your way.
when malays talk about race, its racism
when other races talk about race, its their rights
From what I’ve heard – the organizers are a pain in the ass, trying to screw around with Petronas who sponsored a lot but get mere pittance in terms of publicity. It’s like they ask Petronas to pay everything but Petronas get little or no exposure whatsoever.
I’m not surprised that this thing happened – the organizers did the same stunt last year in India.
from what i read at twitter this time, SNSD will coming..THIS GIRLS NO SEXY?? LOL..
[CONFIRM] GIRLS GENERATION WILL BE COMING F1 LIVE CONCERT @ PETRONAS TWIN TOWERS (KLCC) MAIN ROAD AT 23/03/2012! (cr.MYSMTOWN)
See – MILF replaced with young nubile girls! Much much better haha!
