A government committee that includes police and Islamic policy officials decided to forbid Badu's show because the body art was "an insult to Islam and a very serious offense," Information Minister Rais Yatim said in a statement.
The photo of Badu had "triggered public criticism that could jeopardize national security and cause a negative impact to the government's image," the statement added.
I am a tat man, and I didn't realize tats can jeopardize national security.
Who knew.
