Dangdut queen to follow rules

Indonesian dangdut queen Inul Daratista will be performing in Kuala Lumpur as scheduled on May 1, despite objections from PAS Youth.

The sexy singer, who said she was aware of the "rumblings" concerning her Konsert Fenomena Dangdut Inul Daratista at Stadium Merdeka, had pledged to follow "all guidelines" during the show.

"I'm an entertainer first and foremost, and I will follow all guidelines. All I want to do is entertain my fans and music lovers," she said in a teleconference from Serang, West Java, where she was on tour.

The 26-year-old Indonesian hip-swirling sensation said she planned to sing 12 to 15 numbers during her two-hour concert.

"It will be a mixture of my latest and older songs," she added.

Asked whether she would perform her provocative "bump-and- grind" technique, known in Indonesia as goyang gerudi, the singer said she would if there were requests from fans.

The concert organizer, IMS Prima Sdn Bhd, had urged that the positive aspects of the event be highlighted.

"We have been given the green light for the concert by the relevant authorities here and we will adhere to the rules and regulations," added IMS chairman Fatah Ramli. -- The Star
