So The Weeknd finally brings one of the biggest stadium productions on the planet to Kuala Lumpur… and the first thing Malaysia does is open an investigation into the show itself.
We should be celebrating that a global superstar actually chose this country. Instead, this circus starts.
And then people still sit around wondering why major international artists keep skipping Malaysia and heading straight to Singapore.
The same artist has directed US$4.5 million from his XO Humanitarian Fund toward emergency food aid in Gaza.
So now what? The “demon” is feeding hungry people?
Did everyone binge too much K-pop Demon Hunters and decide that anyone who bought a ticket sold their soul and started worshipping Satan on the spot?
Religion deserves respect. Art deserves space.
If someone has genuine concerns, raise them like adults. Discuss them. But do not instantly turn a concert into a moral panic before the facts are even established.
It is a stage prop.
Not an idol. Not a shrine. No incense. No candles. No offerings.
Just a giant gold robot standing on a stage.
Sometimes the real demons are not the ones performing under the lights. They are the ones who cannot tolerate another person’s success and popularity, and who invent spiritual threats where none exist.
Worshipping corrupt money, political patronage, and selective outrage is far more satanic than any piece of concert décor.
Anwar has just doubled JAKIM’s annual allocation from RM1.5 billion to RM3.1 billion.
Use that mountain of public money to investigate and act on the Puchong chicken halal slaughtering scandal in Selangor.
Use it to strengthen actual religious affairs and protect real standards.
Do not waste it chasing an entertainment show that involves zero worship of any kind.
Worship what, exactly? A robot? A gold robot is suddenly haram?
Then perhaps everyone should stop buying gold jewellery, gold watches, and gold bars after this.
Has anyone in history ever seen a demon that comes in metallic gold?
And some of the more unhinged observers are even obsessing over the robot’s “boobs.” For heaven’s sake — it is a machine. Not a human being stripping naked.
Only a pervert would zoom in and focus on a machine’s boobs. Why? Do you all have a robot fetish or something?
The fact that this needs to be explained in 2026 is itself a national embarrassment.
This is the intellectual level we have reached: a multi-million-dollar stadium production is treated like a satanic ritual, while actual issues that affect food safety and religious integrity are left under-resourced.
