In Malaysia, the government blames black metal music for a number of social problems, such as anti-social behaviour. The government believes the music causes teens to become disrespectful to parents and elderly, as well as lowering their respect for religion. :neener: The music was also deemed to be responsible for crime-related cases such as gang fights. As a result, the government has announced that it will ban black metal, and now does not provide permits to foreign bands. [2]
Malaysia made news in 2000 and 2001 after public officials announced several arrests of "Black Metal cult members", in whose houses were found desecrated Korans and anti-religious material. Reports also surfaced of strip-searches conducted in public schools of children suspected of being involved in black metal. Children were also forced to drink "herbal cures" to purge their minds of the subject. This crack-down was led by the Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir.[3]
