Gwen Stefani could be forced to cancel her Malaysian show after a Muslim group branded her ‘indecent’ and ‘obscene’. The singer, who is on the road with her Sweet Escape tour, will perform in Kuala Lumpur next month, but the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students want the concert scrapped because Gwen’s image offends Islamic beliefs. Mohamad Hilmi Ramli said, “Her video clips promoting the event are too obscene. We want the organisers to cancel the concert, failing which we will ask the authorities to intervene.” Ramli also slammed Malaysian mobile phone company Maxis Communications for promoting the concert and exposing young Malaysians to ‘moral decay’. The show will take place at the Stadium Putra on August 21. She will also perform in Australia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, China and Hawaii before taking her tour to Europe.
