Is Beyonce too sexy for Malaysia?

That might be the case after the singer postponed her Oct. 19 show in Kuala Lumpur, shortly following accusations from a Muslim conservative group that the show would be immoral, according to Billboard.

Officials with Marctensia, the Malaysian entertainment group promoting the show, declined to say whether the decision was prompted by criticism by the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, the nation’s largest opposition group. The group called for the show to be canceled because it would promote “Western sexy performances.”

Beyonce canceled a performance in Malaysia in 2007 over similar opposition. She performed instead in Indonesia, which is also a largely Islamic country but has less strict guidelines for performers.
