KUALA LUMPUR: While a permit was issued for the recent tattoo convention to proceed, there was no green light given for any form of nudity at the event, says Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Muhammad Bakhtiar Wan Chik (pic).

“Any form of approval for half-naked parades was never given by the government, and it is quite impossible for the government to approve any applications for events that has elements of nudity, because this is not the culture of Malaysia.”
