PETALING JAYA: PAS is turning to the power of prayers in hopes that Selena Gomez’s The Revival Tour concert in Shah Alam would be cancelled.

Selangor executive councillor in charge of Islamic Affairs, Datuk Dr Ahmad Yunus Hairi, has urged mosques throughout the state to perform the solat hajat (special prayers) to pray for the cancellation of the American singer’s show at Stadium Melawati on July 25.

“All mosques in Selangor have been ordered to hold solat hajat after Friday prayers or whenever appropriate before the concert is held to pray to Allah in hopes that the concert will be cancelled,” said Ahmad Yunus.

He also hoped that the concert organisers would be “enlightened by Allah” and that Selangor would “not be struck with disasters”.

Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali has said that the state government had no problem issuing a permit for the concert if the terms and conditions are met.

The concert organisers have clarified that all the necessary forms had been submitted to Shah Alam City Council and approval had been obtained to use Stadium Melawati as the venue for the concert.
