Beyoncé 'plans controversial concert'

Beyoncé is facing controversy after scheduling a gig in Malaysia.

The singer pulled out of performing in the Islamic country in 2007 due to strict laws regarding female performers' attire.

According to Contactmusic, critics are apparently already protesting at news of the upcoming concert.

Sabki Yusof of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party said: "We are not against entertainment as long as it is within the framework of our culture and our religion. We are against Western sexy performances. We don't think our people need that."

Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani were forced to dress in a non-revealing fashion when performing in Malaysia after they also received protest threats from some of the country's Muslims.
