In an effort to curb young women from pole dancing and other lewd activities in public, the transit authority has spent thousands to replace hundreds of vertical handrails in KL’s light rail transit trains with three-bar poles.
At a launching ceremony in Kuala Lumpur today, Mr. Deng M. Soon Ngan, spokesman for the transit authority said “We have seen young Malaysian women acting un-Malaysian on YouTube videos. This is not the image we want the world to see. What is in our backyard should remain in our backyard.” Was Mr. Deng referring to an ad created by a certain local budget airline inviting Singaporeans to check out Malaysia’s backyard? Singaporeans may be flocking to Malaysia to check out our backyards but they will not be able to find it on our LRTs any time soon.
A woman in the crowd who wished to remain anonymous expressed her disbelief “This is unbelievable, first they won’t let us practice yoga and now this. Women, pole dancers, exhibitionists and yoga practitioners pay taxes too.”
Mr. Deng could not be reached for further comment.Sent from my iPhone.
