A New Zealand woman has complained about seeing the breasts and underwear of Air Asia flight attendants, saying their uniforms are ruining Malaysia’s reputation.
Dr June Robertson from Wellington has written a letter to Malaysian senator Hanafi Mamat which was posted to Facebook on Tuesday.
In the letter, Dr Robertson said she ‘felt very offended by the extremely short skirts these females wear on Air Asia’.
‘I found it quite disgusting myself as not everyone appreciates this.
Dr June Robertson has complained about seeing the breasts and underwear of Air Asia flight attendants, saying their uniforms are ruining Malaysia’s reputation.
‘One of the Air Asia women bent over in the supermarket in [Kuala Lumpur International Airport] and I seen her underwear; terrible!’ she wrote.
She describes herself as a ‘middle-aged professional woman’ who has visited Malaysia twice a year for the last ten years.
Dr Robertson said on a flight from Auckland to Kuala Lumpur in October she was sitting in premium business class when a flight attendant ‘had her blouse opened and I could see the top of her breasts’.
‘I objected and asked her to close her jacket, as she was bending over us.
‘One of the things we like about Malaysia is the fact your women do not dress like prostitutes and the people are very respectful of others.
Dr Robertson said the dress of Air Asia flight attendants was ‘letting your reputation down’.
In the letter, Dr Robertson said she ‘felt very offended by the extremely short skirts these females wear on Air Asia’
‘The males however are very respectfully dressed and very professional.’
The letter was addressed to Hanafi Mamat, a Malaysia senator who has suggested Air Asia flight crew should wear a uniform which ‘portrays Malaysia as a Muslim country with strong Eastern values’, Free Malaysia Today reported.
‘We are proud that Malaysia is an Islamic country with its own cultural identity, but when our flight stewardesses dress sexily and disrespectfully, this will give tourists who use the services of our national carriers the wrong impression,’ he said.
An Air Asia spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia they were ‘unable to comment’.
