Article 1 : http://hype.my/farahann-athletes-outfits-reviewed-following-gymnasts-leotard-controversy/ #FarahAnn: Athletes Outfits To Be Reviewed Following Gymnasts Leotard ControversyA couple of days ago, Malaysian gymnast Farah Ann Abdul Hadismade Malaysia proud when she snagged a gold medal at the28th Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games)in Singapore. Having impressed the judges with her style and movements, Farah emerged as the judges favourite and wona bronze medal in the balance beam event.She presenteda great display during the floor exercise routine and collected 13.733 points to grab the ultimate win.

Alas, what shouldve been a widely celebrated occasion insteaddrew flakfrom certain Malaysian netizens, particularly a percentage of the Muslim community, due to the 21-year-old Muslim gymnasts leotard.Her picture, first shared by Buletin TV3 via theirFacebook page, became the subject of attention as several Facebook users criticised her for not covering up her aurat and showing off the shape of her vagina in leotard.Note:Islam requires both Muslim men and women to wear clothes that will not reveal the curvesand shape of her body, in protection of their honour and integrity. However, criticisms are often targeted against women.Other Facebook users as well as Malaysian leadersrushed in to defend Farah Ann,asking people to acknowledge Farahs talent instead of getting heated over her gymnastic attire.This includesParti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia Youth ChiefTan Keng Liang,Malaysian Gymnastics Federation secretary N. Shanmugarajah,Malaysias Minister of Youth & Sports Khairy Jamaluddin, as well as Tun Dr Mahathirs daughter and social activist Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir.Marina Mahathir said the attacks against Farah Ann were a sign of how the country was in danger of being overtaken by stupidity.At theCooler Lumpur Festivalpanel discussion, she commented:No, I dont think well be a Taliban state yet; well be a stupid state first.The trouble is, our top leadership, we do have small and petty-minded people. They see these leaders saying things bocor lah, ni lah, crosses on telekungs for instance nobody laughs at them.In another country, people would point at the politicians and say, What a dumb thing to say. But here they dont.And thats not allMeanwhile, in a report byThe Star Online, Perak mufti Tan Sri Dr Harussani Zakaria said that gymnastics was not meant for Muslim women as they would be showing their aurat and body shape, which was clearly against Islamic teachings.If they still want to take part, gymnasts must wear clothes that cover their aurat, which may not be suitable for the sport,he said.He added that this applied to other sports such as football, where male players should wear shorts that extended past their knees.As such, according toTMI, Minister in the Prime Ministers Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said that the government will review sports attire for athletes following complaints aboutFarah Anns leotard.Jamil Khir told Dewan Rakyat last nightthat issues that could shame and taint Islam must be given serious attention.We take attention of this matter so that this becomes a lesson, in whichever field, including sports, for us to look into the clothing and attire,he said while wrapping up the debate for the religious affairs department for the 11th Malaysia Plan.He was responding to a question from Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff (PAS-Rantau Panjang) who asked if the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) have issued regulations on clothing for athletes that the Youth and Sports Ministry can implement.What do you guys think though? Do you think there should be regulations on clothing for athletes? How else would Farah Ann have dressed while competing for the gymnastics title, so as to not hinder her performance? And what about our national swimmers?UPDATE (17th June, 3pm):Khairy Jamaluddin has stepped forward to say that athletes donthave to abide by any dress code drawn up by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM), and that JAKIMs guidelines was just a guideline and theres no compulsion to it.In a report fromThe Star Online, Khairy was quoted as saying:Its up to the athletes to follow the guidelines and theres no compulsion to cover up I hope this settles it.We have to remember some sports attires are regulated by the sports federations besides, the athletes only wear the attire during competitions, they dont wear it every day.He also slammed the critics as hypocrites and said the issue smacked of sexism.Farah is an adult and has been brought up well. She knows what shes doing and old enough to decide for herself.Male athletes dont get this kind of attention, body-builders wear much more revealing trunks.The critics can look elsewhere or, if they cannot contain themselves, we will have to ban them from entering stadiums,Khairy said.
