Lavigne 'too sexy' for concert in Malaysia

An Islamic political party is aiming to scrap Avril Lavigne's forthcoming concert in Malaysia - claiming the pop star is "too sexy" to perform in a Muslim country.

The 'Skater Boi' singer is set to play a show in the country's capital Kuala Lumpur on August 29, kicking off a month-long tour of Asia.

However, Malaysia's opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, has urged the current government to cancel Lavigne's show - insisting she is not the type of performer who should play in a Muslim-majority country.

More than 60% of Malaysia's citizens are Muslim.

A representative for the party claims the concert would promote the wrong values, especially as Lavigne is set to perform on the day before the eve of Malaysia's Independence Day on August 31.

Concert organisers have denied the pop star's show incorporates any "negative elements".
