Malaysia halts music festival after same-sex kiss by UK band The 1975 - Lemmy.world

Malaysian here 👋🏻

Honestly we have been having such a hard time getting international acts to the country (we have religious radicals that ate strongly opposing these shows).

It was only recently with a tough government swap that things are starting to get better - things were starting to open up.

Less than half a year since things got better, this clown decided to run his mouth, insulting the government and fueling these religious radicals with more reasons shows should be banned.

Honestly, good fcking job, 2 steps forward, 1 step back. You fcked us all.

Malaysian here.

The clowns are the ones in our government. Just slightly less clownish than the previous govt, that's all
