No more dancing in Pahang
This is sad news for the State of Pahang in Malaysia.
"The police have announced a crackdown on discotheques in Pahang, which will turn it into a State without such dance clubs. The police have singled out discotheques as places where youths consume ecstasy and dancing in drug induced stupor called “goyang kepala."
I don't know how high the percentage is of those that dance on drugs. I only know that dancing is an outlet to get to feel the music, get out of the weekly routine and have some fun, meet friends, make new friends, and, god beware, may be fall in love with a girl or a boy!
What else can they do now, in Pahang? Is there anything left for youth to do?
And hey - what about those tourists? Those tourists also like to dance - shall they do this now on the road? Singing in the rain?
This is a sad day for Pahang - that is my opinion.
