| Singer Rebecca Soejati falls afoul of Islamic law in Aceh. Singer Rebecca Soejati Reijman, who is from the Netherlands, was performing on stage in Banda Aceh on 26th August in front of 4,000 people in support of the Jakarta-based band “Nidji” when the head covering that she was obliged to wear in the sharia-law province got caught in the wind and fell off, revealing her head, and the hair on top of it. Because of this she had to leave the stage and the concert ended abruptly. Although she is not Muslim Rebecca said she didn’t mind covering herself up in order that her Aceh-based fans could see her live but apparently some people were not happy with the effort that she had made, even before the headwear fell off. What was covering her upper body did not extend all the way and left her hands visible, causing some people to mutter in disapproval, it is said. |

| #4 Wardrobe Malfunction II. Only this time there will probably be a body count instead of people calling a network and complaining. I guess we're weak. |

| #3 Performers make money by giving the customer what they want. Some take it off, and some put it on. Its just business and Ms. Soejati shouldn't be condemned for trying to make a buck. |
