Malaysian Muslim Women want Air Asia crew to cover up ...in skirts to their ankles.
Influential Malaysian Muslim women demanded on Friday a budget airline to swap its flight attendants' miniskirts for less revealing, more Islamic attire in keeping with the multi-faith country's dominant religion.
Female delegates of the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), during a debate on Islam at the final day of its week-long annual meeting, zeroed in on AirAsia's stewardesses, saying their skirts should go down to the ankles. The 3.3-million-strong UMNO represents the country's dominant ethnic Malays, who are by definition Muslim. UMNO is increasingly pushing an Islamic agenda to counter the opposition Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) in the country's Malay heartland.
"increasingly pushing an Islamic agenda" - I'd say so.
