Malaysian government mandates that female performers (even non-natives) must be covered from the top of her chest, including her shoulders, to her knees, and unlike some other acts who’ve been penalized in the past (unfortunately not with canings, because… well, that would just be too hot) like the Pussycat Dolls, and Avril Lavigne (really?), Rihanna is planning on adhering to regulations.

R&B sensation Rihanna will shun skimpy outfits when she performs in Malaysia next month, the concert’s organizers said Tuesday, becoming the latest international star affected by the Muslim-majority country’s strict rules on performers’ dress.

Honestly, I give props to this move.� It shows a great deal of respect to all fans.� Wouldn’t we raise a big stink if someone who believed something controversial flaunted such a belief while performing stateside?
