Damn kids with their roll'n'rock devil music

One of Malaysia's most popular rock singers has shocked audiences and been barred from appearing on a television station for six months after he peeled off his shirt and bared his chest during a live performance.

Faizal Tahir, 29, threw his shirt into the crowd and revealed a Superman-style S painted on his bare torso at the concert in Kuala Lumpur, shown live on national television.

But in the increasingly conservative Muslim society where entertainers must follow strict government guidelines stipulating that they be covered from knee to chest, the stunt drew cries of outrage.
