Mini-Skirts Ban
COLOMBO - Sri Lanka said Monday it was considering banning mini-skirts following complaints about women wearing skimpy clothing in the conservative island nation.
Nimal Rubasinghe, secretary of the Cultural Affairs Ministry, said the government had received representations calling for a ban on wearing revealing clothing in public, though he declined to name the groups involved.
"There have been complaints from various quarters about mini-skirts, but we are only considering them and no final decision has been taken," Rubasinghe told AFP.
Rubasinghe was responding to a media report that said the government had asked a committee to prepare a dress code for public places to ensure that mini-skirts were outlawed.
The Lakbima News newspaper said mini-skirts could be banned if the cultural ministry had its way under a "new era of moral purity."
President Mahinda Rajapakse's government has recently ordered the removal of billboards featuring scantily-clad women and also launched a campaign to discourage the use of alcohol and tobacco.
Last year, US singer Akon was denied a visa to perform in Sri Lanka after Buddhist monks took offence at one of his videos that featured women in bikinis dancing around a pool in front of a Buddha statue.

People have different preferences.. So we can't dictate who should and shouldn't wear mini skirts..

We should collect money and send some miniskirts to Srilanka as a sign of protest.

Rizks they won't let you even enter Colombo... Next flight back to Doha... :D
Lanka must be going the way of Iran and Saudi arabia or atleast making the right noises towards heading that way. Would it not be more advisable for this guys just to look the other way if the short skirts affect their eye sights
i like the supportive picture.
