Malaysiakini reports that the state government had imposed an indefinite ban on rock, pop, reggae, and dangdut shows. Hmm…bad news indeed. So, no THR Raaga concert in Kedah?

According to the state government, such concerts have a negative influence on youths.The Star newspaper today quoted state executive councillor Dr Ismail Salleh as saying that the administration does not “condone any gelek-gelek (gyrations) on stage.”

Ismail said the state is currently formulating a comprehensive guideline for concerts and informed that the ban will remain until further notice.

However, he added that the state government is not opposed to entertainment but stated that concerts could have a negative influence.

But PAS Info officer Mahfuz Omar himself was in the dark about this ban.

SIS meanwhile are asking Pakatan Rakyat to state their stand. Another headache for Anwar and his team.

Ini PAS memang problem…
