PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Chess Federation (MCF) has ceased investigations into the incident where a 12-year-old girl was allegedly forced to withdraw from a chess tournament for wearing an "improper" dress. MCF deputy president Tengku Ahmad Badli Shah Raja Hussin said the decision was made as the tournament director had filed a police report. He added that the IC ascertained that the player was never disqualified or forced to withdraw as alleged. "We trust the police will expedite their investigations into this matter and hope the matter can be resolved amicably and expeditiously for all parties concerned. Feeling harassed and humiliated, the girl, who is the Kuala Lumpur district chess champion, withdrew from the tournament.
