Michael Jackson gyrates, he thrusts, he sings - and there are still those who think nobody does it better.
The entertainer arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Saturday and was greeted by 800 happy fans, just under the 1,000 people who showed up a day earlier to protest his concert appearances as immoral, anti-Islamic and a bad influence on young people."How can Michael's concert be immoral and have a bad effect on youth?" asked Dinesh Sai, 17, who was at the airport for Jackson's arrival.
"If that is immoral what about all sorts of things on Internet, movies and songs? Then everything should be banned and what would we have left?"
The concerts Sunday and Tuesday have been anticipated and dreaded by thousands in this largely Muslim nation, where some consider Jackson's sinuous moves immodest. Officials say they're allowing the shows to give fans a chance to see a renowned performer.
