Actress Pamela Anderson has frequently grabbed media attention for her charity work, usually promoting the animal rights group PETA.
This time, the buxom actress is making the headlines for her latest charity contribution one that's caused controversy in Indonesia.
Anderson posed naked for the January issue of Playboy and gave the $25,000 ( Rs 11 lakh) payment to
disaster relief organisation Waves 4 Water to help Indonesian disaster victims.
The nonprofit organisation brings water filters to communities struggling to recover from natural disasters.
Anderson said, "I've also donated personally.
I wish I could do more. Indonesia, Haiti and Pakistan are all in need of these filters. Spread the word!"
However, in the predominately Muslim nation of Indonesia, Anderson's naked photos have caused a stir as an indecent way to raise charity dollars.
A hardline conservative Muslim group known as the Islamic Defenders Front has publicly denounced Anderson's donation.
The Islamic Defenders Front yesterday said that the donation to the charity would be "against the law of God" because it was obtained through immoral acts."
