Dancing with a guy while on holiday is wrong?

M’sian beauty queen returns crown after backlash from holiday video of her 'dancing suggestively' with male dancersThe latest beauty queen made to return her title is 24-year-old Viru Nikah Terinsip, who won the Unduk Ngadau Johor pageant in 2023.

The clip sparked public backlash in Malaysia, with calls from Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan, the president of the Kadazandusun Cultural Association , to strip Viru of her crown.While many felt that it was inappropriate for Viru to exhibit such behaviour as she is a public figure, some felt it was blown out of proportion and her actions did not cause harm to anyone.“There were a lot of mixed reactions, some saw humour in her video, some sympathised, others were unhappy and complained,” he added.

“I joined the Unduk Ngadau competition by my own will and will now return the title without coercion,” she said.
