So much so that he  called for the promoters of the show to be “beaten with poisonous  stingray tails.” “This is most uncivilized behavior that goes  against our culture," President Maithripala Sirisena said publicly after  Iglesias’ Dec. 20 concert in the commercial capital, Colombo, according  to wire service reports and <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35186892" target="_blank">BBC</a>.  "I don't advocate that these uncivilized women who removed their  brassieres should be beaten with poisonous stingray tails, but those who  organized such an event should be." Whipping with the tails of  stingrays was said to have been used on criminals in medieval Sri Lanka,  and has become an expression for severe punishment, according to  reports. The  president suggested that the government would be stricter about  allowing pop stars who stir up female fans to perform in his country in  the future. “I want to stress that these indecent concerts should never  receive authorization again in Sri Lanka,” he said. President  Sirisena also complained about the high cost of tickets, which were said  to range from 5,000 rupees ($35) to 50,000 rupees ($350). The  concert was produced by Live Events, an entertainment company owned by  two recently retired Sri Lankan cricket legends, Mahela Jayawardene and  Kumar Sangakkara. On Monday, the promoters issued a statement  apologizing for problems at the concert. They acknowledged that security  "failed alarmingly" and apologized for the "negative experience." Those  who had paid for the most expensive tickets were said to have been  pushed from their seating area by people who bought cheaper tickets as  security failed. "Although we know an  apology or refund cannot fully satiate your disappointment, we wish to  reiterate that we remain fully committed to all of you and our country,"  the promoters said. Live Events not directly refer to the President’s criticism of the bra throwing and other audience behavior. Iglesias, at least at first, seemed oblivious to the controversy, posting a video of the show on his Instagram account. <img src="http://i.grab.la/05c1d-ea34425e-c5fd-4c91-b58d-b2ef6b8873ee.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/eek.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="eek    :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/eek.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="eek    :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /> <a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/latin/6821638/enrique-iglesias-sri-lanka-president-bra" target="_blank">http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/latin/6821638/enrique-iglesias-sri-lanka-president-bra</a> </blockquote>
