And I'd imagine there aren't too many 23 year old pensioners, are there?

The only person to express any concern was a local politician, and who cares what he thinks? I don't and neither do the locals.

If you can find an example of a Sabah native being even slightly bothered about this story, I'll do a photo shoot on Ben Nevis.

"Please do not expose any of your naughty bits"

Golly - let's hope not. Why, that could trigger this:

You can almost bet that if a Malaysian stripped off in the UK there would be a national outcry from the hyper conservative Brits and call for automatic deportation etc!

How about you bet me £500 then?

The so-called national outcry in Malaysia came from one publicity-starved local politician. If a Malaysian female went topless in the UK, which isn't illegal anyway, she'd do well on the next Big Brother or X Factor, but that would be the extent of anyone's interest.

That should be a reason for a national outcry. No wonder no one bothers going to church any more.

I must report not only trying to read your post again but having it translated into 47 languages, printed and put into quite a large frame. Do you have anything to add or should I hang it now?
