They might as well scour the shopping malls and fine all the "scantily-dressed" girls who are "flouting decency regulations".

"Malaysia needs to learn to grow up.
Not in terms of buildings but mentality."
"Actually ah, if you read the review of the concert itself and see the pictures of the concert itself here: http://www.mtvasia.com/Review/Event/
E20060731001447.html, you can sort of understand why they actually fined them. Not that I'm saying that the government isn't a bit kolot, but they HAVE already "warned Western artistes not to be too "raunchy" so as not to offend local sensitivities when performing in Malaysia." I think the organisers should respect that, even though the government should be more open minded, but there is a limit to everything, and its all part of finding a 'balance' between the 2 parties so that we get a good outcome for all."
"Well PCD is afterall a well known burlesque dance group who happen to have one singer and a couple of hit songs (not to mention a few raunchy music vids). If they wanted to do something, they should've NOT let PCD perform in the first place. I agree that it is difficult to strike a balance in any other case but I'm pretty sure the people who bought tix to the concert know exactly what to expect from them and will not be offended in any way - quite the opposite hehe."
"Honestly, when I first read about it, I felt the very same as miszmilk.
Then, the comment posted by crushedguava changed my views slightly..
Then when I saw the pictures at mtvasia, I truly understand why they got fined. As crushedguava said, there should be a balance..
If Mariah Carey could change her wardrobe, why not the Pussy Cat Dolls? :P"
"Pussycat Dolls made a name for themselves doing exactly this. M'sia should've known what to expect. And anyway, I've seen TONS of girls in M'sian nightclubs wearing waaaaaaaay less than that, both Malay and non-Malay. Hm, and in the Rainforest festival too."
"Hell, even in the shopping malls."
"My sentiments exactly =)"
