GIRL group Dolla has apologised to their fans following the cancellation of their Good Girls Gone Bad concert after the organisers allegedly failed to secure the necessary permits and regulatory approvals in time, Harian Metro reported.
The announcement was made by members Sabronzo, Tabby and Angel in a video post on Dolla’s official Instagram account.
In the message, the group expressed heartfelt regret to their fans, known as iDolla.
“We understand that many of you were really looking forward to this concert. So were we. Please know that we are just as disappointed as you,” Sabronzo said.
According to the group, the decision to cancel was made only after the organisers informed them that the required documents could not be completed before the deadline. Without the approvals, the concert could not proceed.
The cancellation follows a recent public controversy involving the group.
Independent preacher Ustazah Asma’ Harun publicly criticised the revealing outfits worn by Dolla members in their latest music video Question.
The issue was addressed by the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs), Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar, who said that the government was reviewing the possibility of imposing syariah criminal action against Muslim celebrities for provocative dressing.
Universal Music Malaysia previously noted the public’s concerns.
The music video has since been taken down.
> Singer Adira Suhaimi says she is choosing to remain silent in response to recent claims made by her ex-husband Datuk Seri Adnan Abu, widely known as Datuk Red, saying that speaking out may only worsen the situation.
Adira told Kosmo! that her priority was to avoid escalating tensions.
The singer also said her decision to refrain from further comment was out of consideration for her child and stepchild, with whom she shares a close relationship.
Adira, whose full name is Siti Adira Suhaimi, also addressed allegations that she had left him by the roadside.
She admitted the incident occurred but clarified that it did not happen in the middle of the night, as claimed.
“I left him near a petrol station where he had access to facilities. There are reasons behind it that I cannot share.”
Adira and Datuk Red married on Dec 3, 2015, as his second wife, before divorcing on April 24 last year. They have four children together: Anggrek, seven; Asan, six; Anggun, five; and Ayob, three.
