Again? Another daring act by an 'ambitious' young bred singer? Don't they ever learn from the past? It seems opening your buttons and showing off your skinny bare chest, and got banned has never got any of these guys' attention. After the infamous act by the infamous Faizal Tahir, who wanted to be like a Superman, another young underground bloke has immitated almost similar act. Maybe this time, even more shocking!
Do they think they are living in America? Even not all Americans like to flash their skin or chest and pull down their underpants for all to see! Not all musicians and singers flaunt and expose their armpits and bums as an 'expressions' of freedom. Or self-expression. Or self-individuality.
No matter what the term is, Carb Alak, an underground singer from a group,Carburetor Dung, who recently got beaten and booed by fans, and got hit by drinking water bottles, should know that they are not living in a 'dream world'. Malaysia is a free country. And so do other countries in the world. But free or not, we have to live by certain rules, values and standards. We live in community. We live within a society that have strong religious beliefs. Showing off your underpants, stripping it down and exposing your bare bum to the public is something that cannot be accepted morally.
Like Faizal Tahir who said that he will and can never change, is too arrogant on his part. To think that we will never change is something that is too short sighted. People do change. People think they don't but they do.
And for Alak, freedom or not, what you did will be a big lesson for you. Maybe exposing yourself is the norm in your 'closed culture and society', among friends and diehard fans. But to the masses, it is incorrect. It is unacceptable in a country who practises its religions, where values are the pillar of good conduct and mannerism.
Hey...not everybody likes to jump up and down, screaming and singing until your Adam's Apple almost thrown out from your throat! Plus baring off skins, skinny chests, unsightly bums, hairy armpits, or smelly mouth are almost too much to bear!
