PETALING JAYA: The government should blacklist foreign artistes who have a record of committing indecent acts and openly support Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) culture, says the Malaysian Artistes Association (Seniman).
Seniman president Rozaidi Jamil - also known as Zed Zaidi - said the government should only grant permission to foreign artistes who do not have a history in engaging in indecent acts or openly support LGBT.
"The action by The 1975 was a clear insult to the country's laws and culture which could have a negative influence on the youth," Sinar Ahad quoted Zed Zaidi as saying on Sunday . This led the Good Vibes Festival organisers to pull the plug on the band's performance, which was followed by a total ban of the group performing in Malaysia and the remaining two days of the festival cancelled by the Ministry.
