KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — R&B star Beyonce Knowles has postponed a planned concert in Malaysia, the event's organiser said, following accusations by Islamic conservatives that the show would be immoral.
Knowles, known for her provocative clothes and choreography, had been scheduled to perform at a Kuala Lumpur stadium on October 25. The show "has been postponed to a future date to be announced shortly," Malaysian entertainment company Marctensia said in a statement...
Instead, Knowles went to Indonesia, also a largely Muslim country, which has less stringent rules about how performers should dress and behave. Female artists at Malaysian concerts are required by government rules to cover up from the shoulders to knees, with no cleavage showing.
