Wormrot arrested in Malaysia
Singaporean grinders Wormrot were arrested in Malaysia in the early hours of New Year’s Day by religious authorities.
According to the band’s Tumblr, Wormrot were playing a New Year’s Eve show in Kuala Lumpur. While at their hotel, the Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (Selangor Islamic Religious Department) came into their room. Azean, the band’s manager, says:
“After several questions and telling us that it is wrong for unmarried Muslim men and women to be in one room, they took our passports and we were taken to the police station to give our statements and call someone to bail us.”
