If the PAS authorities are so worried about the muslims being attracted by sexily clad female performers, they should just limit themselves by putting some officers there to arrest such people. It is clear to all that the function is a private program held inside the Taoist temple compound. What business do these muslims have over there. Instead of catching the offenders, the authorities go and harass the organisers. Where go fair?
The organisers were asked to cover up the show – a two-day concert with male and female artistes. The event, to celebrate the birthday of the Gods, was held with an
outdoor community concert organised by members of the Tao Tin Hu Keng
Association.
The Takiyuddin fellow from PAS said that guidelines on outdoor performances clearly stated that female artistes
were barred from performing. He said that although the concert was
within the temple compound, it was held in an open space where others
could watch. He said any permit given by the local authorities were subjected to the same bylaws and should be respected by all.
I think these guys should be more tolerant and understanding instead of enforcing such rules on others. Have some common sense and educate your own people first, instead of going around asking people to cover up their programmes.
