“We’re confident most Malaysians are against this” YADIM Calls for Plus-Size Pageant To Be Cancelled
Published 3 months ago
In a Facebook post by YADIM chairman and PAS MP, Nasruddin Hassan has voiced out his opposition against a plus-size beauty pageant that will be held on 2 January 2021. The pageant is called Miss/Mrs Plus World Malaysia 2020.
Nasruddin went on to say that programs like that are giving the wrong signals to the rakyat, that the Muhyiddin-led government will allow programs like that to go on, when actually the public knows that the Prime Minister is very serious in ridding activities that are not beneficial in terms of moral. He then pointed out that we are still in the midst of a pandemic and any sort of events that are not urgent should not be held as there will still be a risk in the transmission of virus.
