Ink on the body not a stain on the country

According to the official event website and banners placed throughout the event, this tattoo conference was supported by the ministry itself, along with the Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau . In other words, this event was fully endorsed by the ministry.

Unless there is an explicit statement by the ministry telling the organisers that participants are to be fully clothed throughout the event, it would make sense.I would understand if the announcement was made by the Ministry of Religious Affairs but as the tourism, arts and culture ministry, is it not your duty to promote body art rather than restrict it?

Speaking of which, which set of laws will the ministry prosecute the event organisers with? Promoting public indecency?Only ticket holders can participate in the event, where minors are not allowed. These tattoo enthusiasts are not here to threaten the public with their displays of body art. Conversely, these are passionate people, promoting their love of their works internally among their own community.
