Dress Checkmated

[Flanders]

I know that chess is a sexless game but this is ridiculous:

The girl's striped dress (pictured) was said to be 'improper' and 'seductive'​

I wonder what they would do to the kid if she showed up in this striped dress?

From the article:
Conservatism in Muslim Malaysia
This is not the first time Muslim-majority Malaysia has been in the news for incidents of religious conservatism.

In a message just before Valentine's Day this year, the National Muslim Youth Association urged women to avoid using emoticons and an excessive amount of fragrance.

In 2016, food outlets in the country were told they must renamed hotdogs or face being refused halal certification.

The ruling, which included other food items whose name includes the word 'dog', garnered much ridicule on social media.

It followed complaints by Muslim tourists from overseas, said Sirajuddin Suhaimee, director of the halal division from the Department of Islamic Development.

'Any (halal) products that make consumers confused, we have to change,' he said.

'In Islam, dogs are considered unclean and the name cannot be related to halal certification.'

The girl's mother says it was just the director's preference, but what will you bet he was Muslim?
