I was extremely curious when I read the following excerpt in the SG Straits Times reporting on the rally against inflation held in Kelana Jaya last Sunday:
“A minor scuffle broke out when the lead singer of a rock band performing on stage exposed his bottom in a political gesture – enraging the conservative crowd.”
Unfortunately, that was all that was reported on that incident. A burning question: how does one moon in a “political gesture”?
Initially I thought he had a picture of the bendera / hibiscus flower / a politician's face / ”Malaysia Tak Boleh” or some other form of seditious insignia on his ass. Or perhaps he was ‘displaying’ his sentiments towards the current state of political affairs by mirroring it to that part of his anatomy.
I was illuminated today when I read an article in KLue magazine - from the Malaysian perspective. It explained that the crowd was NOT amused with the mooning gesture because it made a mockery out of the recent sodomy allegation against the same opposition leader who was addressing the rally that day.
Alamak...
