Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia VIII

When I saw this political flyer advertising a recent election candidate, a few things struck me as noteworthy.

1) The candidate is a woman and wearing a headscarf. Presumably she is a muslim. In many Islamic nations, this is prohibited.

2) Her photograph is featured prominently. In many Islamic nations, this is prohibited.

3) The flyer carries three languages: Bahasa Melayu, Chinese, and Tamil. This is another example of multiculturalism in modern Malaysian culture.
