Doubt over Malaysian leg of Stefani tour

The Malaysian leg of Gwen Stefani's tour has been thrown into doubt after a Muslim student mounted a campaign to have the star banned from performing in the country.

The 'Sweet Escape' hitmaker was due to play her first ever gig in capital city Kuala Lumpur later this month, but faces opposition from locals who insist the star's behaviour and dress is too inappropriate for the province.

Mohamad Hilmi Ramli, of the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students, says: "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 singled out Malaysian mobile phone company Maxis Communications for advertising the former No Doubt singer's performances.
