Kuala T'ganu ban on female singers
A rule by the Kuala Terengganu City Council banning female singers from performing at events has caused a stir.
This is after the ban was applied to female singers from performing at a temple-hosted religious event.
The ban was criticised by DAP lawmakers, who said women's rights were being denied while questioning why such rules were applied to non-Muslims.
