The Penang Consumers Association (CAP) today urged the government to ban advertisements of sexy or 'hot' girls in the city centre.

Its president S.M. Mohamed Idris said lately, many electronic advertisements used pictures of sexy girls to lure people to entertainment centres.

"Night clubs, especially in Lebuh Union, exhibit pictures of women in sexy poses which are not suitable in this country and contravene the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism publication guidelines," he said.
