horn Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Don't wear bikinis, Melaka religious dept warns visitors to Pulau Besar By Meor Riduwan Meor Ahmad - January 1, 2023 @ 7:56pm MELAKA: The state Islamic authorities are unhappy that some tourists are going around wearing bikinis, an act that has sullied the image of Pulau Besar, they say. The Melaka Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JAIM) said it wants action to be taken against those who are indecently dressed. This followed a three-minute video of some beachgoers wearing bikinis on the island which has been making its rounds on social media since Christmas Day. JAIM chief Che Sukri Che Mat said the department is now planning on putting up signboards to remind tourists to dress appropriately and not to partake in activities that are considered sensitive to Muslims. "Wearing attire such as bikinis is only suitable for the bedroom, not to be shown off to the community in Pulau Besar. They should not take this lightly. "This is the first and last warning. Do not repeat such an act; we will not compromise," he said. Che Sukri said a meeting will be held with police, local government and state development authorities over the matter. He said that they will discuss possible action to be taken against tourists who sullied the sanctity of Pulau Besar, whose history dates back to the Islamic civilisation. Besides beach resorts and small outlying islands, Pulau Besar is well known for its ancient graves, tombs and mausoleums of notable Islamic preachers. https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2023/01/866285/dont-wear-bikinis-melaka-religious-dept-warns-visitors-pulau-besar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonski43 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I'm fine with this. There are plenty of places you can wear a bikini in this world so if you don't like it, go somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's only women that are being discriminated against based on religious views. If they wanna act like whores they can go to Brighton or Toremolinos.

I don't agree with it and it would be very colonial of me to go there and say they should change their ways to what I believe. I'll just go to Brighton.

Religion shouldn't legitimize discrimination based on gender or sexuality.. If more people would judge these ideas instead of the usual 'their religion says...' the world would be a better place.

horn Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 I remember back in 2019, my friends & I went to Maldives and stayed in Sheraton water bungalow. We received complaints from one of the water bungalow guest (a middle eastern woman who stayed next door) that we worn nothing but swimming trunks while snorkeling in the sea. For fuck sake it's a beach resort, almost 90% of the male guest worn had nothing but a swimming trunks. Bitch should not be allowed if she's so conservative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. The day they force EVERYONE to cover their bodies in the heat, the world will only have to respect their ancient values. But since as always this will only target women, I tell them to go fuck themselves (which will probably do them the most good by the way).

I don't agree with it but, as I said, go elsewhere. Go to a place where they do allow it. They'll soon change when they realise they're losing money but it will be their choice not us forcing change upon them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However those rules in Pular Besau are even more absurd. Greece is always the best option. So many nudists beaches there. Too bad you can't go on your winter vacation, because its like 15 degrees. All the liberal and warm places (when in Europe it's winter) are too far from where I am like Brazil or Cuba or Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s overcrowded, very busy and it looks superficial. It lacks the charm of other islands, because it’s too unauthentic. Plus the ppl mainly wanna show off. Milos is my favorite island so far - not overcrowded, clean waters, great food and chill atmosphere. But that’s just what I like. If you want clubbing, Mykonos is the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I wanted to know. Because even tho its a beautiful place, I just don’t feel it. And that’s exactly the reason why, I mean I’m not into partying nor clubbing, etc, so. Glad to know I’m not the only one, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
