Terengganu MB Urges Everyone to Tell Off Tourists Who Wear Bikinis at Beaches & Public Places in The State

Terengganu Menteri Besar (MB) Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has urged everyone to play a part in telling off tourists who wear bikinis or other attires that are against the rules at beaches and other public areas in the state.

Samsuri said the matter during his visit to Marang to check on the aftermath of a storm which hit the locality.

The Terengganu MB was replying to a question from a reporter who asked about a viral photo of 2 half-naked visitors, believed to be foreign tourists, at the Pulau Kekabu beach in Marang just a few days before the storm hit.

Samsuri stressed that rules are rules, regardless of whether natural disasters are hitting Terengganu or not. He thus urged everyone to follow the rules, including the ones regarding attires in public areas.

However, he stressed that the telling-off should be done in an appropriate way and not in a rude manner.

Accordingly, Samsuri said that if the ‘reprimand’ by the public is done kindly, the tourists who may be oblivious to the state rules would be understanding and follow the rules.
