CNN reported yesterday that Beyonce has canceled her scheduled performance in Kuala Lumpur and will perform in Jakarta instead. The reason given was the strict prior censorship imposed by Malaysian authorities.

Good.

As far as I'm concerned, Indonesia has gained face, and Malaysia has just lost some more. Let Malaysia continue to progressively isolate itself culturally until it becomes like Saudi Arabia by 2020. Never mind, KL will have lots more flyovers and tall buildings by then so we can confuse it with Chicago in appearance. But only in appearance. For Malaysia will never have the cultural spark and creativity of a free country.
