She suggested the move to improve the enforcement of the guidelines on entertainment, cultural performances, tourism and sports in Terengganu.
: Penang DAP Women’s Wing publicity secretary Connie Tan has voiced its opposition towards a proposal by a Terengganu representative to only allow prepubescent primary school girls to perform at public dance events.
“This means only prepubescent children would be permitted to perform as an improvement to the guidelines, ensuring our state remains under the blessings of Allah,” said Zuraida during a state legislative assembly sitting at Wisma Darul Iman. She cited Article 8 of the Federal Constitution, which prohibits discrimination based on race, colour, religion or gender.
“We cannot allow women to be sidelined simply because of their gender or age, nor can we accept policies that claim to protect but are, in reality, oppressive.”
