| Malaysia
Vs Metal |
Blabbermouth reports: A Malaysian government
official has commented on a recent incident in which over 100 youths were
rounded up by police in Seremban for participating in a black metal concert.
According to Malaysia's The Star Online,
Pahang Mentri Besar (chief minister) Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob said such
culture was not suitable for Malaysian youths as it glorified violence
and death.
He said enforcement activities alone could
not resolve the problem as awareness against such unhealthy activities
must come from the home or school. [see full story for more]-
