You are gay? You can't sing here

Concerts by gay singers are banned in Malaysia. For example the authority protested Elton John's concert in Malaysia scheduled on 22 Nov 2011. Why?  i don't need to mention who exactly are them, but anyway according to them:

“Although Elton John is not going to call on Malaysians to copy his gay lifestyle, the acknowledgement given to him will only motivate the gay culture in Malaysia, which is fast becoming rampant.”

"Any artiste who is proven to be a gay will come under the ban. We do not want to encourage any form of homosexuality in our society,"

"The authorities are aware that the culture of hedonism or excessive and extreme entertainment is spreading swiftly, like poison, among young Muslims." 

"It is this culture such as free intermingling, drinking, adultery and illegitimate children - that often damages a society and causes people to neglect their responsibilities to their religion. This is made worse by the practise of homosexuality."

Anyway, despite all the protests, the legendary singer was still able to run his concert in Genting Highland and actually putting a big grin in the picture.
