Speaking to New Straits Times, Johor religious council executive committee chairman Abdul Mutalib Abdul Rahman said that the decision was made after giving consideration to "the public's sensitivities"
It is unclear if Black Eyed Peas will still perform sans Taboo following recent developments. K-pop group T-Ara and Indonesian singer Rossa are currently the only international acts retained from the previously announced line-up.
