Paying respect to their host country, Indonesia which is predominantly
Muslim, Miss World 2013 would dump the bikinis in favor of one-piece
beach wear called sarongs.
A statement from Adjie S Soeratmadjie of the RCTI (Rajawali Citra
Televisi Indonesia), official broadcaster and organizer of Miss World
2013 in Indonesia says:
"There will no bikini in this year's Miss World pageant to respect our
traditional customs and values. This is a sensitive issue in Indonesia.
We have discussed it since last year and they have agreed."
Miss World 2013 will be held on September 28 in Bali, Indonesia where reigning Miss World Wenxia Yu will crown her successor.
