But well spotted there. I suppose the authorities didn't want our Malaysian boys to emulate our neighbours up north, where they go to the extent of organising pageants for them.

There was an unintended consequence of this whole affair: the kids had a ball. Not, apparently so much because of what they were being encouraged to do, but because in their own words: they were
"meeting other students from all over the state and fostering lifelong friendships"

"I get to enjoy the company of other students and teachers without having to look over my shoulders for something bad to happen because of who I am.

"Here, nobody laughs at me or call me names either straight to my face or behind my back."

And so on. We females know a thing or two! It's good to be effeminate like us!

The real mystery is: why do so many people devote so much time to things that really don't matter one iota, and ignore the things that do. Like whether the person is growing up to be a fine, caring human being.

You don't want to hear what else I think.
