"Warna-Warna Malaysia" & its relevancy to Rock Concert...

I purposely entitled his post as such "Warna-Warna Malaysia" to portray how a certain colour or "warna" would portray your social or even political inclination.

I like the rest of my comrades of the same era had been eagerly waiting for the 9 July 2011 rock concert featuring Sweet Charity & the Blues Gang. It was reported in the NST yesterday (26 June 2011) that the concert would be postponed to a later date. It was also reported at page 4 NST today (27 Jun 2011) that scores of fans were disappointed with the concert's postponement including a 60 years old Encik Mohd Arif who was reportedly would go to the concert with his family.

There is a certain nostalgic reason for being present for the 9 July 2011 concert as about 27 years ago (in 1983/1984)both Sweet Charity & Blues Gang went nationwide for their first ever dual rock concert. I was there when the bands performed at Ipoh Stadium with my "comrades in rock". All of us were in our faded jeans and of course round neck BLACK T shirts!!!!!

Rumours poured in saying that the concert was postponed as it coincide with the Bersih 2.0 rally which is scheduled to be organised on the same date.

Now now ... I trust most if not all o the concert goers would be wearing jeans and BLACK T Shirts. Never in my life had I seen a YELLOW shirted homo sapient in a rock concert!!!!!

Come to think of it even BLACK was a taboo colour sometime back when it was linked to the Black Metal cult. All of a sudden practically almost all in Malaysia became allergy to the colour of BLACK!!!!

If we go back further, even GREEN had became the victim of paranoia when those poor kids at the Sekolah Ugama had to change their "samping" from GREEN to RED/MAROON in colour....

I just wonder which colour would be the next victim in the near future ... Well, it's never a dull moment in my beloved MALAYSIA!!!

Till we meet again ... hopefully at the Sweet Charity & Blues Gang concert yea....
