The State Culture, Arts and Tourism...

Title

Description

"The State Culture, Arts and Tourism Committee Chairman, Shahiruddin Moin, said that, "Although it is natural for women of the tribe to live half naked in the village, their photographs may give a wrong impression that Malays here are dressed in that manner" (The Star 3.8.1997). The State Rural Development Chairman, Omar Othman, was then assigned to look into the matter (Berita Harian 3.8.1997, 4.8.1997, Utusan Malaysia 4.8.1997). No official announcement was made about the ban on visits to the Kuala Yong Batek settlement but a sequence of events soon followed that eventually ressulted in such a ban."
