Fathers and brothers cannot attend netball tournament daughter/sister is playing in?

Although female athletes cover their aurat (while playing netball), since netball involves active movements, we are worried that such movements will reveal their aurat.

Well, the rules and regulations are generally fixed by the organizers – so they can even have rules like all spectators must dress in orange, etc.

But, this not allowing male spectators is maybe too much. From a family perspective, now father and male brothers also cannot be present cheer on their sister who is playing – is this right? As I mentioned earlier, it is the organizers decision…and the organizers need to re-think such rulings – it is certainly going against family values…I am sure players would like their family and friends to come and support them in sports…as well.

Female spectators only ruling is with regard this specific tournament – not yet a general law/policy concerning all women sporting events.

But, the organizer is the State government – so, is this what the people of Kelantan want? Were they consulted?
