Avril Lavigne allowed to play Malaysia

Avril Lavigne [ ] will go forward with her Aug. 29 concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, after the government reversed its conclusion to proscribe the concert, according to a Reuters report.

An Islamist group had objected to the concert, which was scheduled to be held two years before the country's Aug. 31 independency day celebrations, saying that mainly Muslim Malaysia should not written matter Western values and cultures.

The decision to allow the Lavigne concert was made at a cabinet get together after officials studied the assurances granted by the concert organiser. Arts and Culture Minister Mohammad Shafer Appeal reportedly said the concert must be monitored to ensure that the performance does not clangour with Malaysian culture and values.
