# Malaya Today, Picture Set E, no. 8: Malay Women's Institute visit to Radio Malaya (English photo poster distributed in Malaya)

A group of women in sarongs and kebaya stands in a studio record library while a man in a tie shows them a disc. The caption calls the Women's Institute 'a rapidly growing movement' and says the members came 70 miles by bus from Kuala Pilah to Radio Malaya in Kuala Lumpur. The tell is bandwagon: 'rapidly growing' invites the reader to see participation as widespread and increasing.
