"There will no bikini in this year's Miss World pageant
to respect our traditional customs and values; this is a sensitive issue in
Indonesia. We have discussed it since last year and they have agreed “says Soeratmadjie,
from RCTI who are the official broadcaster and local organizer of the event.
Since Miss World is happening in Indonesia this year...and
the country has strong Islamic believes...the famous beach wear category will
look a little bit different, this time around.... We are talking the likes of
the above and below images....with swim wear designed with beach sarongs,
making sure the girls are covered.
The chairwoman of the Miss World Organization, Julia Morley,
confirmed that none of the 137 contestants would wear a bikini.
"Indonesia is designing for us a very beautiful
one-piece beachwear, and I'm very happy with them," she told The
Associated Press by phone from London, adding that the pageant will include a
special beachwear fashion show.
Oh y! #yaga
