KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia’s government Saturday cut short a music festival after the lead singer of British band The 1975 slammed the country’s anti-gay laws and kissed a male bandmate during their performance.

Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil slammed Matty Healy’s conduct late Friday at the start of the Good Vibes Festival as “very rude.”

Healey used profanity in his speech criticizing the government’s stance against homosexuality, before kissing bass player Ross MacDonald. Footage of the fiasco was posted on social media and sparked a backlash in the predominantly Muslim nation.

After meeting the festival organizers Saturday, Fahmi said the festival, which was scheduled to go on this weekend, will be canceled.

“There will be no compromise with any party that challenges, belittles or violates Malaysian laws,” he said in a statement on Facebook. Homosexuality is a crime in the country that is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and caning.

The agency in charge of approving performances by foreign artists said it was disappointed with the band’s conduct, calling it “an insult and disrespecting the laws of the country.” It said the group will be blacklisted from performing in Malaysia.

It wasn’t the first time that Healy used the stage to defend lesbian and gay rights. In 2019, he kissed a male fan during a concert in the United Arab Emirates, which also outlaws homosexual acts, according to media reports.

Bangladesh: Muslims Kidnapping Mostly Minor Hindu Girls

Then celebrate on social media stating: "mission done."

Instances of Muslims kidnapping Hindu girls, mostly minors, are at an all-time high in Bangladesh, with neither the Bangladeshi government nor international authorities making any attempts to stop this practice.

In the latest news report from the Comilla District of the Muslim-majority country, two men have abducted two Hindu girls from a street near their residence, which is located in the Telikona Sahapara under the Kotowali Model Police Station area. Both the girls are minors and cousins.

As per the complaint, which is dated on the afternoon of July 4, Muhammad Sojib Miyan and Muhammad Shakil, accompanied by others, abducted the victims, identified as Bristi Rani Saha (16) and Laboni Saha (17).

In her written complaint, Brishti’s mother, Sima Rani Saha, alleged that Shakil and his accomplices made a social media post that read “Mission done” after abducting the girls.

She says that despite filing a complaint, police have not been active, and have yet to trace the girls’ whereabouts and recover them. Bangladesh’s mainstream media steered clear of reporting on this case, and it was afforded no space in the international press, either. Barring a few mid-sized news sites in India and a Twitter post by the Hindu organisation Hindu Voice, no prominent media houses reported on this case, resulting in zero awareness about this crime in the home country or outside.

In recent months, there has been an exponential increase in cases of Hindu girls being abducted by Muslims. 13-year-old Aishi Saha was abducted from Barishal in May. After enormous outrage, the girl was recovered from Dhaka, but not before she was converted to Islam. In the present case of the twin abduction as well, the girls’ family suspects that their daughters might have been kidnapped to have them forcefully converted to Islam and then married off to their abductors, in the true Pakistani fashion that some Bangladeshi Muslims have lately been emulating.
