At first I thought it was a hoax, but it seems to be true and has now reached even international newspapers like the Guardian<\/a> (396 comments)<\/p>\n

V-Neck : \u00a0\u00a0 Check!<\/span><\/p>\n

Big handbag : \u00a0 Check!<\/span><\/p>\n

Muscular Body :\u00a0 Hmm…. Fail<\/span><\/p>\n

You can imagine the uproar this publication has caused in Malaysian Cyberspace.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of, often hilarious but also very embarrassed, comments.<\/p>\n

And a few months ago in the state of Terengganu, 66 Muslim schoolboys have been\u00a0 sent to a gay \u2018cure\u2019 camp after school teachers identified them as being effeminate.<\/p>\n

Malaysia Boleh!<\/p>\n
