It is forbidden to show intimate parts of a female body on any media. In Malaysia, these parts include armpits. So what do the manufacturers of women’s deodorants and epilators do? It turns out there is a way out: a lot of brands advertise deodorant from a side view, without actually revealing the whole armpit.
Besides, it is prohibited to advertise the services of lawyers and doctors, as well as means of contraception, on Malaysian TV and outdoors.
it is its own country so stfu about "womens rights" sh#t when you havent been there. lived there for ten years and you made a stupid judgement based off of a poorly put together picdump on a country on which it was heavily focused on the muslim aspect of life. there are thai, malaysian, japanese, korean and many other nationalities that live there... you are a f@#ked up person for basing others lives on your standards. Again, stfu.
PS. Marilyn is correct, all countries have 'strange' traditions to outsiders.
