Malaysian politicians flay AirAsia uniform

KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysian politicians criticized the uniforms worn by flight attendants on budget carrier AirAsia Friday, saying the skirts were too short and exposed the wearers’ genitals.

“AirAsia stewardesses expose their calves, thighs and knees and this is inappropriate,” delegate Zaleha Hussin told the annual congress of the ruling United Malays National Organization (UMNO).

“Malaysia is an Islamic nation and Islam Hadhari is the basis for our lifestyle and this is inconsistent with it,” she said, referring to the government’s policy of promoting a version of the religion that emphasizes economic and scientific development.

Going a step further, UMNO assembly speaker Badruddin Amiruddin drew laughter when he used a crude euphemism to refer to female genitalia.

“For some of them you can even see their tunnel,” he said in Malay.
