Girl in dress row gets public support as organiser disputes claim


PETALING JAYA: Support has been pouring in from the public for the 12-year-old girl who was forced to pull out of a chess championship in Putrajaya after the tournament director alleged the dress she was wearing was improper, “deemed seductive” and “a temptation from a certain angle, far, far away”.

However, the organiser is reported to be disputing the girl’s complaint.
