Beyonce has postponed a planned concert in Malaysia for October 25th, after the country’s opposition Islamist party critiqued her performance, quoting moral issues, concert organizers said. The Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) forced Beyonce to cancel her concert in primarily Muslim nations.

“The postponement is solely (the) decision of the artiste and has nothing to do with other external reasons,” the concert organizers said. “The Organisers sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

The PAS did not approve of Beyonce choice of dressing. “We oppose the holding of such concerts and we will take action to prevent it,” a spokesman from the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party said.

Earlier this month, Malaysia banned Muslims from attending a concert by U.S. hip-hop band The Black Eyed Peas, which was sponsored by Guinness, one of the brands owned by the world’s biggest spirits group, Diageo, According to ABC News.

Beyonce and her management team will offer a statement later in time.
