CONTESTANTS at this year's Miss World beauty pageant will not wear
bikinis in the parade in a bid to avoid causing offence in
Muslim-majority Indonesia, organisers have confirmed.
The 137
women taking part in the September contest will swap bikinis for more
conservative attire, such as traditional sarongs, for the beach fashion
section.
The contest is being held on the resort island of Bali,
where foreign tourists flock in their millions and the beaches are
packed with women sunbathing in skimpy swimwear.
