The Malaysian chapter of the global Boycott, Divest, Sanction (BDS) movement said it was "very disappointing" that Siti Nurhaliza decided to participate in the “Hitman Returns – David Foster and Friends” concert in Jakarta tonight...
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions Malaysia (BDS Malaysia) movement regrets the participation of the country's famous singer, Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza in the 'Hitman Returns – David Foster and Friends' concert scheduled to take place in Jakarta, Indonesia on Saturday night.
According to the movement, the organizer of the show, David Foster, is known to be a very strong supporter of the Zionist regime.
He added that the famous song composer was also often involved in efforts to contribute funds to the Israeli army in events organized by ``Friends of Israel Defense Forces'' (FIDF).
"In the current situation where more than 36,000 Palestinians have been brutally killed by the army of the Zionist Israeli regime since October 7, 2023 and still continue to commit brutal murders in Gaza and the West Bank.
"Datuk Seri Nurhaliza's decision to participate in a show organized by David Foster is very disappointing," he said in a statement on Saturday.
The country's number one singer was previously reported to have shared the stage with famous producer and composer, David Foster through the Exclusive Concert 'Hitman: David Foster and Friends Asia Tour 2023' at the Mega Star Arena, Sungei Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur in August last year.
Meanwhile, BDS in the same statement also urged all parties including artists, businessmen, sportsmen, the government and ordinary people to show a more sensitive attitude towards the sufferings that have been experienced by the Palestinian people.
According to him, the minimum action that can be taken is to boycott the Zionist regime as well as organizations and individuals directly involved in the atrocities that are happening in Palestine.
