From The Star: PAS Youth wants I-Dance banned:

GEORGE TOWN: The state PAS Youth wants the I-Dance street dancing competition to be cancelled, claiming it will promote social problems among youngsters.

Its chief Mohamed Hafiz Mohamed Nordin urged Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to scrap the event in line with the latter’s administrative slogan ofAmar Ma’ruf Nahi Mungkar (enjoining good and preventing wrongdoing).

The event, supported by the state youth and sports committee, will be held at the New World Park on Dec 20 and at Queensbay Mall on Dec 27.

Among others, it would include shuffle dancing.

The event is promoted as a healthy way for teenagers to spend their free time.

An official of the state Youth and Sports, Women, Family and Community Development Committee said government officials would meet the PAS Youth leaders next week.

“We will listen to their perspective to understand the issue. However, the event will go ahead as planned,” he said.

I swear, if PAS comes into power, I'm leaving town.
