Half Naked? Definition Please...

I would like to comment on the news pertaining to some UM females who were "half naked", as quoted from our "learned" and "holier-than-thou" MP and Malaysiasiswakini.com proprietors on 4 March 2009.

Why I think that all those who were criticising these girls are pathetic and narrow-minded (as if they're still living in the 13th century, where females have to covered every single inch of their body except the face?):


1. The event's name is UM's 8th College Ladies' Day.

- If the ladies can't even wear what they want without showing any boobs or standing stark naked in the crowd during a Ladies' Day/Nite, I have no idea when we women will be able to do so.



2. Who are we to label people "half-naked"?

- Isn't that equivalent of a slander? What is the exact and precise definition of half-naked by
the way? Every single individual on planet Earth have their very own definition for what is decent and what is not.

Why can't we simply respect the difference in opinions and thoughts? Is this what we call moving forward in life, or just staying at where we are and picking on the tiny little things people do? Isn't that as bad as being a paparazzi? Seriously, if a bare-backed dress is considered half-naked, I guess that's the end of Malaysia's entertainment, fashion and modelling industry.

Maybe they prefer every single female to dress in a jubah every single day of their lives in Malaysia, preferably covering their faces to prevent them from being "tempting" to men. *roll eyes*



3. Blame the Chinese students from China.

- Well, when they can't find any scapegoats, there you have it, Chinese students from China. Somehow, Malaysian society has been stereotyping as "sluts", "wife-stealers" and what-have-you-not. Yes, they are students from Beijing. So what?

They simply have different cultures and mentality. If you don't provide a proper instruction to them in advance, why blame them when they dress in tube-dresses? Just like a Chinese student representative said, it is very normal for non-Muslim girls to dress in evening gowns like that during events and not during classes! Somehow, I don't see this guy getting an erection...

Usually, those who makes the most noise are the guilty ones...



4. Look who's talking

- Another excellent Malay proverb: The heart of a germ they can see from across the river, but the heart of an elephant right in front of their eyes they missed.

This is a classic case of a witch hunt for innocent victims. Instead of pointing fingers on people who wear clothes with lower necklines than you, try focusing on bigger issues such as poverty, literacy and improving your English!

In my opinion, these people should just stay put in this country and not go anywhere because once they step into even our neighbouring countries such as Thailand, they're bound to suffer from heart attack, high-blood pressure and shock. Why? Because everyone dresses like that during events and non-events! Can you stop them?

How about trying to study in Western countries? They throw parties bigger and wilder than ours! Do you choose not to join them and stay in your room every single day? Do you choose to stick to your gang and not see what the world has to offer?




5. What is morally wrong to one is not to another.

- Who is morally wrong? What is morally wrong? It is a very subjective question with no one being able to correctly answer it.

Who are we to condemn one person to hell and thinking we've done and excellent job on behalf of God?

Remember cases where tudung-clad girls were still caught with their pants down, having sex in public areas? What about that? Half-naked? I'm sure it was...



Jesus was upset with the Pharisees precisely because of these traits, picking on the tiny-weeny things and making people observe rules so strictly there's no room for spiritual growth at all.

They have missed the whole point of these rules. If we love God, we will act in obedience to God and His law. No one have to whip anyone like a donkey to make them obey rules.

Remember again: It is with law we are aware of sin and we are tempted to sin. Just like how Philip Yancey put it, "Tell a child not to eat cookies from the cookie jar because dinner will be ready in an hour. The thought of eating cookies wasn't there then but now, it has been awaken and the child is tempted to eat it because he is hungry and tempted, even though he knows it's wrong."

Still half-naked? I suggest that you pack your bags and head straight to the mountains and live there on your own.
