SHAH ALAM - Female students in higher-learning institutes here are being persuaded not to wear panties on Valentine's Day as an expression of true love for their boyfriends.
The "no-panties promotion", being held for the first time, has apparently been gaining interest among the students, who are passing the news by word-of-mouth, Star Online reported.
Two students in their 20s from Shah Alam, known only as Ummi and Melissa, said they were aware of the "promotion."
"I feel it is personal," said Ummi with a smile.
Large group keen on it?
"Valentine's Day is a good time to express one's love. And, what we use or don't use is our right, our freedom. But we will do what is right. It's a new world now."
Melissa claimed that there was already a large group who planned to go ahead with it.
"We will know how many by Valentine's evening."
State Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) director Mohammed Khusrin Munawi said:
"We will not allow Muslim students to be taken in by such celebrations that deviate from the teachings of Islam."
