Malaysia's government has banned Muslims from attending a Black Eyed Peas concert because the event is organised by Guinness.
The event's Malaysian website read: 'The party is only open to non-Muslims aged 18 years and above.'
A Ministry of Information, Communication and Culture official said: 'Muslims cannot attend. Non-Muslims can go and have fun.'
She said the September 25 concert would not normally have been permitted, because government regulations forbid alcohol companies from organising concerts. She said that authorities made an exception in the hope the event would boost tourism. Guinness must not use its logo in concert publicity material, she added.
