KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 19 Putrajaya-linked Muslim evangelical foundation Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Yadim) has said today that it is urging Putrajaya to cancel the Miss/Mrs Plus World Malaysia 2020 pageant scheduled next month.
In a statement today, its chairman Nasruddin Hassan from Islamist party PAS claimed that the event which will see participants from all ethno-religious backgrounds, and not just Muslims, is “hedonistic” and allegedly “exploiting women”.
“Apart from that, the concept of organising such a programme has never been allowed by any religion, especially Islam, because such programmes are more exploitative to women and akin to nourishing to a hedonistic culture by civilisations that have long been extinct,’’ Nasruddin claimed, but did not elaborate on his remark.
