KUALA LUMPURMALAYSIA: Singers from two rock groups barred from radio and television because of their long hair received public haircuts Sunday from a government official.
The Home Affairs Ministry had banned longhaired performers from radio and television in February but the rock trios Search and Wings had held out saying they feared losing their identities and their fans.
On the television program “Good Morning Malaysia” male singers Amy of Search and Awi of Wings represented their groups for the haircut by Information Minister Mohamad Rahmat.
