Rihanna Postpones Malaysian Concert

Rihanna Citing "recent events involving Rihanna," event organizers in Malaysia have postponed a concert she was scheduled to perform at this week.

Reps for the show were quick to point out that the concert scheduled for February 13 is not canceled -- but rather Rihanna's people will come up with a make-up date sometime in the next two weeks. The show in Kuala Lumpur drew heavy press after Rihanna agreed to conform with Malaysia's strict rules on performers' outfits.

As we first reported, Rihanna is the victim in an allegedly brutal attack involving boyfriend Chris Brown.

1. Bottom line: If he did it, he needs to reap the consequences. If he didn't we all need to move on.

4. This is the second time that concert is being canceled...her fans are probably pissed!
The first time it was canceled was probably last month, because of the war that was going on in Malaysia, people were walking around with bombs and ish.
It was re-scheduled and now it is canceled again because of that abusive moron Chris Brown.

5. If Rihanna won't press charges...then why is Chris already CHARGED with criminal threats and is booked for a court appearance. Use your brain people...Rih obviously pressed charges.

6. The alleged victim does not have to press charges. That determination is ultimately up to the district attorney. Even if she chooses not to testify, there was at least one eyewitness and that is enough without her testimony. So you "use your brain."

8. She does not need to press charges. If she does not it is on the DA to press charges against him. There can still be charges even if she doesn't want to go ahead with them. So in the end he will probably get what he deserves... for the most part.
