Kamaruzaman said he was upset with the government’s decision to reject their memorandum.
“Rihanna’s image including her dressing is not suitable for our culture,” he said.
“Even if she wore a headscarf here, we know it is not her real self because she performs differently in other places,” he said, adding that they had sent a memorandum to the Religious Affairs Department to have a standard guidelines for such concerts.
Conclusion
PAS are obsessive and aggressive when the thought of Rihanna comes up, stressing and incessantly pressing the issue of prohibition. Despite their best efforts, the Government doesn't see a reason to stop the music.

I don't understand why PAS has such a huge stick up their you-know-what regarding these concerts. I mean, it was funny when the Pussycat Dolls got fined for provocative clothing, but in the end - they were only trying to sell their music.
Sex shouldn't rile people up. If people get offended by sex or anything relating to sex, then they're probably hidden peadophiles waiting to strike and afraid of the temptations.
if we ban Rihanna concert,should ban all the clubs,MTV,channel V,etc etc as well.why being hypocrite anymore after that?
Yea, totally hypocrites! Wonder why they are still so conservative while we're already in the 21st century....Grow up la PAS!
