Amidhan suggests the the committee of Miss World to hold the event in other areas, such as Bali, which is known as international tourist destination. It is also usual for tourists to wear bikini in Bali. Amidhan said that beauty contest was always related to swimwear and revealling dresses.
"Relocating the even to Jakarta will not stop us from objecting it," he said.
