PETALING JAYA: Wanita MCA has condemned the organiser and chief arbiter of a chess championship for acting as "moral police" in forcing a 12-year-old girl to withdraw from the event based on a dress that was deemed "seductive".

Wanita MCA chairman Datuk Heng Seai Kie said the key issue should not be about the girl's outfit, but the mindset and motive of the organiser and chief arbiter whom she claimed have misused their powers.
