Dubai’s police chief has criticised a beauty pageant being advertised by mysterious organisers, saying it encourages nudity and contradicts the religion and culture of the UAE.
“I personally will never allow any beauty contest to carry the name of the UAE
as this does not represent the UAE in any way,” Major-General Dhahi Khalfan Tamim said in remarks published in Press reports.
“We don’t want to encourage national women to (indulge in) nudity,” he was quoted as saying, “as beauty contests require the appearance of the contestants in outfits which contradict with our culture and religion”.
