KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 21 — The women’s wing of PAS today joined the chorus of protest against the Miss/Mrs Plus World Malaysia 2020 pageant, saying it is contrary to the moral values of Islam and Malaysia.

Its chief Senator Nuridah Mohd Salleh also accused the pageant of exploiting and objectifying women.




“This is because beauty pageants exploit women’s beauty in order to attract public attention. In an indirect way, if this event is allowed to proceed, it would mean we condone Malaysian women being used as stage decorations.

“Of course, this goes against the government’s efforts of building a society that’s admired for its principles and conduct,” she said in a statement today.


Quoting a verse from the Quran on how women’s beauty should not be put on display and compared, Nuridah said beauty is a gift from God that must be nurtured and protected, and not turned into something that is subject to a contest.



Furthermore, in light of the current Covid-19 situation, which has yet to recede, a programme that gathers people together should be avoided even if the organisers promise to abide by the SOP.

“Therefore, Dewan Muslimat PAS Malaysia hopes that the government will consider cancelling the beauty queen competition in order to send a signal to society that such competitions should stop,” she said.

Yesterday, the organiser of the Miss/Mrs Plus World Malaysia 2020 hit back at accusations claiming its pageants were hedonistic and exploitative, stressing that its objectives of creating awareness and women empowerment could not have been more misconstrued.

The organiser, in its defence, said its pageants intentionally disregarded “trivial” pageant activities like requiring participants to don swimwear, and instead focused on celebrating, promoting and elevating plus-size women’s beauty, intelligence and confidence.

In a statement posted by the organisers on its Facebook page yesterday, they outlined how its pageants are held with objectives like creating a stronger awareness against body shaming and bullying, and promoting and participating in humanitarian and education-driven modules, in mind.

“We teach our participants and queens’ world’s diplomacy, humanitarian work, respect of cultures and diversity, and how to be role models of peace and love.

“Even our theme is ‘Queens with Causes’, which serves a noble purpose. Is that not a great academy for training and transformation?” read their statement.

This came after Putrajaya-linked Muslim evangelical foundation Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Yadim) said it would be urging the government to cancel the pageant after labelling it “hedonistic” and alleging that it was “exploiting women”.

Yadim’s chairman, PAS’ Nasruddin Hassan, alleged such programmes have never been endorsed by any religion, likened it to the hedonistic culture of civilisations that have long been extinct, and claimed that authorities worldwide would have discouraged the running of such programmes amid a pandemic and urged Malaysia do the same.

Miss/Mrs Plus World Malaysia also had stressed how its team had made the necessary arrangements to adhere to the Covid-19 standard operating procedures for events with audiences.

Malaysian pageant, Miss Plus World Malaysia 2020 is facing an uncertain future due to Islamic political party, PAS.

PAS led organization, Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (YADIM) pushed for the Malaysian government to cancel the plus-sized oriented pageant scheduled to be held in January 2021.

The YADIM chairperson stated that all religions, especially Islam, would not allow such events to take place. He called such events "exploitative" of women and a form of "hedonistic" culture.
The organizers of the pageant fired back shortly after, stating that their pageant aims to empower women.

The pageant also emphasized that they don't partake in activities such as swimwear modelling but instead, participants are made to focus on the beauty and intelligence of plus-sized women.


We teach our participants and queens' world's diplomacy, humanitarian work, respect of cultures and diversity, and how to be role models of peace and love," said the organizers on Facebook.

However, all of that kinda amounted to nothing when YADIM sent a memo to the government, urging them to ban the pageant's gala night as it goes "against Islamic principles."
At this rate, they may not be able to host their gala night in January 2021 as they're losing sponsors due to all the controversy stirred up.

Pageant organizer, Ziinine Britshi told Coconuts that three sponsors have dropped out already.

“We are losing a lot of money. VIPs have also canceled their attendance to our event due to the current situation with religious authorities," he said.

His main concern as of now is to convince the religious bodies that the pageant is "clean."

Different Races are not meant for each other. Stop promoting multi-cultures ... it is always a West idea. It had failed miserably.

Different Races have different beliefs, ethnics, practices, priorities etc etc.

IQ and Race

Islam is a perfected religion but for all the wrong reasons cited in this forum.
