Umno draws link between DAP and nudists


Were nudists emboldened by the fact that Penang is under the control of a DAP-led state government and therefore felt free and unafraid to participate in the “nude sports” event?

This is the question posed by Penang Umno chief Zainal Abidin Osman, according to a report in Umno Online.

His statement comes after The Star Online reported that Gerakan admitted that a female participant in the event was a former Kedah Gerakan Wanita chief.

However, Gerakan deputy president Cheah Soon Hai told a press conference in Alor Setar that the woman, in her 40s, is no longer a party member and that Gerakan is not involved in the event.

Zainal (left) also took a swipe at Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng for his statement that the Umno leader claimed “deflected responsibility” over the incident.

“The statement on the state government’s stand on the nude sports event is irresponsible.

“When the number of tourists increases, the state government does not shy away from taking credit but when the tourists who come here indulge in disgusting and embarrassing acts, the state government is quick to push the responsibility to others,” he said.

Lim had said that a Taman Negara ranger was aware of the nudist activity at the forest reserve in Teluk Bahang, which caught national attention when a video clip of the event went viral on the Internet.             

He then urged the Taman Negara authorities to act on the matter as the national park is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

Meanwhile, Zainal described the “nude sports” event as an “insult of the highest order” and that it has tarnished the name of Penang and Malaysia.

In view of this, he called on the Tourism Ministry and travel agencies to ensure that tourists understand and respect local cultures and religions.

“Penang Umno also understands that the police have opened an investigation paper on the incident and identified some of those involved as well as recorded statements from various individuals.

“We hope the authorities will expedite their investigations and charge those involved, especially the individual who organised the event,” Zainal added.
