Kelantan offers beauty courses to prevent its women from going into vice

The Raja Perempuan Kelantan has launched a program that teaches underprivileged girls the art of grooming — including bridal makeup, massage techniques, facial and hair care, spa and slimming treatments and salon management.

And all this to prevent them from falling into the vice trap, because apparently quite a few lasses from Malaysia's poorest state migrate to KL to look for jobs and end up 'working in bars or nightclubs.'

Ordinarily this wouldn't raise an eyebrow but in a state ruled by a party that believes a woman's place is preferably by her husband's side, such a development is quite a major event.

When asked for a response, Lo'Lo Ghazali, a senior PAS leader said 'there is nothing wrong in Muslim women wanting to look beautiful for their husbands, but added that it is important to balance beauty with spirituality.

I thought it wasn't too long ago that lipsticks and perfume were considered "inviting"! This IS quite a development.
