One of them, Datuk Hasni Mohamad (BN-Pontian), who had submitted a question on the matter in the Dewan Rakyat, asked how the ministry could have overlooked such a thing.

“How can such a thing be overlooked by the ministry because these girls were paraded not only in Kuala Lumpur but also nationwide?” he said when raising a supplementary question.

And another

The other backbencher, Datuk Mohamad Aziz (BN-Sri Gading), asked why no action was taken in the matter when the country had pertinent legislation.

“We have the legislation and we say there will be enforcement but when someone violates the law we do not act, more so when the offender is a foreigner,” he said, adding that the authorities were either afraid or embarrassed to be candid with offenders and thus remain silent.

To which the reply from the Sports Ministry was:

Parliamentary Secretary to the Youth and Sports Ministry S. Vigneswaran, when replying to the questions, said the models did not wear swim suits but were attired in hot pants.

First of all, Mr. Vigneswaran can’t tell the difference between a bikini and hot pants. These are hot pants:

So Mr. Parliamentary Secretary sir, the GT ladies are wearing bikinis okay.

And to the two BN MPs, stop looking okay-if you can’t prevent yourself from getting a nosebleed. Instead of wasting time debating about these trivial matters-why not turn your attention to more pertinent issues?
