'Bad Romance': Lady Gaga's Indonesia Concert Canceled, National Police Say

More than 50,000 of Indonesia's "Little Monsters" have lost their chance to see Lady Gaga perform in Jakarta after the National Police declined to issue the concert a permit on Tuesday.

"The National Police said verbally that [the concert] would not be permitted," Jakarta police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto said. "The letter will be made later."

The decision was made after the Jakarta Police recommended canceling the June 3 concert earlier this week.

“Many parties opposed it,” Rikwanto said.

Indonesia's hard-line Islamist organizations have mobilized against the sold-out concert, claiming that the singer, known for her revealing outfits and suggestive dance moves, will corrupt the nation's youth. The Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) called Lady Gaga a "dangerous" influence and threatened to use force to prevent the pop star from stepping off her plane. Others, like the Muslim Defenders Team, claimed the pop star teaches fans to worship Satan.

More than 52,000 tickets have been sold for Lady Gaga's concert at Jakarta's Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. Concert promoter Big Daddy just released an additional 2,000 tickets on Monday.

The concert's promoter was not available for immediate comment.

Lady Gaga's Indonesia Concert Should Be Canceled: Jakarta Police

Pop superstar Lady Gaga’s upcoming Jakarta concert should be canceled the Jakarta Police said on Sunday, citing a flurry of objections from Indonesia’s Islamic organizations ranging from issues with the US pop star’s provocative outfits to allegations of devil worship.

Lady Gaga’s sold-out Jakarta concert is scheduled for June 3, but police have yet to decide whether Indonesia’s 40,000 ticket-holders will be able to see Lady Gaga perform. The planned concert has attracted the ire of hard-line Islamists the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), who called Lady Gaga to the devil during rallies and warned that her concert will degrade the nation’s sense of morality.

The Jakarta Police recommended that the concert be canceled. But, in the end, the decision is out of their hands.

“The concert permit is issued by the National Police,” Jakarta Police spokesman Rikwanto said, “but the Jakarta Police doesn’t recommend the concert be held.”

The National Police are still undecided whether to allow Lady Gaga to perform in Jakarta.

“We’re still discussing it,” National Police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar told Beritasatu.com. “The concert is slated for June, so we haven’t made a decision. We’ll announce whether or not we’ll issue a permit later.”

The Muslim Defenders Team urged the police to cancel the concert to prevent possible conflicts between Islamists and Lady Gaga fans.

“We ask the National Police to take into consideration the public’s opposition to Lady Gaga’s concert,” said M. Mahendradatta, board chairman for the Muslim Defenders Team — an organization known for representing hard-line Islamists and alleged terrorists.

Mahendradatta said that the pop diva promotes devil worship and that her concert will corrupt the moral sensibilities of young Indonesians.

“Whether you like it or not, Lady Gaga teaches [fans] to worship the devil,” he said. “That goes against the teachings of any religion. We don’t approve of that.”

The Muslim Defenders Team, Mahendradatta said, are not trying to pressure police into canceling the concert.

“There is no pressure, just a consideration to prevent conflicts,” he said.

But the FPI have taken a harder stance on the pop star’s Jakarta concert and threatened to mobilize 30,000 protesters to stop Lady Gaga from entering the country.

“We will stop her from setting foot on our land. She had better not dare spread her satanic faith in this country,” FPI Jakarta chairman Salim Alatas told AFP. “Her style is vulgar, her sexual and indecent clothes will destroy our children’s sense of morality. She’s very dangerous.”

FPI’s leader Rizieq Syihab furthered the devil worshiping claims, adding that the singer was planning to build Lucifer’s kingdom in Indonesia.

“If she performed, I will send Muslims in Jakarta to stop the concert,” he said in Temanggung.

The pop star’s “Born This Way” Asian tour has drawn protest from religious conservatives in South Korea, the Philippines and Indonesia.

Bit late for that. Sad to see these evil religious nut jobs growing in power.

And how many Indonesians have you seen in Thailand doing that? Or is it some other country you are referring to?

Grow up a bit, Indonesians are not like that.

Indonesia is getting almost as conservative as the American South.

Shocking shame about the Lady not coming to Indo. 50,000 locals even bought tickets in the hope of seeing her perform.

As usual, a small minority has spoiled the fun. I had already decided to see her in Singapore as any restrictions on dress, such as all skirts being below the knee, would have ruined it for me.

Reminds me of Robby Williams in Bangkok in about 2002. he was banned from revealing his buttocks. Did anyway.

FPI are a small minority that seem to be allowed to do what they want, the damn police and SBY are weak asses who will find it comes back and bites them 10 times worse.

The Islamofucks continue their campaign to suck all the joy out of life.

State Secretariat has Lady Gaga ban letter
Tue, 05/15/2012

The State Secretariat -– not the President -- has received a letter urging that Lady Gaga be banned from performing in Indonesia, written by the notorious Islamic People’s Forum (FUI) and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI).

But the letter has never reached President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, as suggested by media reports, according to his spokesman, Julian Aldrin Pasha.

“I have never seen the letter on the President’s desk… it’s not at the President’s level [to deal with such an issue],” Julian told reporters.

“The State Secretariat has dealt with the letter.”

The Jakarta Police had reportedly claimed it received a recommendation from the President’s office suggesting that a ban on Lady Gaga from performing should be examined, as proposed by a number of Islamic organizations.

The National Police eventually refused to issue a permit for the promoter to organize the concert, due to take place on June 3 at Bung Karno Main Stadium in Senayan.

National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Saud Usman Nasution claimed the decision was aimed at maintaining Jakarta’s conduciveness given the rampant rejections from numerous civilian groups.

One infamous hard-line group, the Islam Defenders Front (FPI), fervently opposes Lady Gaga’s concert in Indonesia, saying that it would send its members to intercept the American singer when she arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

“Lady Gaga is bringing the faith of Satan to our country and thus will destroy the nation’s morals,” the chief of FPI’s Jakarta branch, Habib Salim Alatas, said.

Lady Gaga is no doubt well aware that no amount of money can buy this type of publicity

Sadly many Pattaya mongers have not the slightest clue about it (or he or she or whatever they call it).

I once had a first time sex tourist tell me proudly how he got a freebie blow in a Pattaya bar. I told him that they employed LB at the bars to give freebies but the girls you had to pay for. His face......
