Controversiesedit
In 2017, a 12 year old girl was barred from attending the National Scholastic Chess Championship organised by the MCF held in a school in Putrajaya over her “seductive” knee-length dress.[1][2] The news sparked outrage online with the MCF vowing to investigate the incident while denying that the decision was due to religious sensitivities.[3]
