Yadim protests against Plus-size Pageant Gala Night

KUALA LUMPUR:The Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Yadim) today protested against the Miss/Mrs Plus World Malaysia 2020 Grand Final Gala Night, which is scheduled to take place on Jan 2 at a hotel in the capital.

Its president Nasrudin Hassan said that the programme was exploiting women and nurturing a hedonistic culture.

“Furthermore, now that we are still facing the COVID-19 pandemic, any form of non-essential assembly should be avoided as there is a risk of transmitting the virus despite complying with standard operating procedures (SOPs) set,” he said in a statement today.

Nasrudin said that Yadim called on the government to take appropriate measures, and it will submit an official protest to the organiser and local authorities on Monday.
