GEORGE TOWN – The government will be looking into internal regulations to address dress code issues for visitors to government departments, said Ramkarpal Singh.
The deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said that the government would have to consider it very seriously, as it could create tension among the public.
“The government should also look into ways to regulate dress codes to be uniform across the board in order to avoid discrepancies in different states,” Ramkarpal, who handles law and institutional reform, told reporters here today.
It was recently reported that Kota Baru Municipal Council had issued a compound notice to a non-Muslim Kelantanese woman for wearing “indecent” clothing. The 35-year-old woman who runs a clothing business was issued a fine for wearing shorts in a public place.
Meanwhile, in Penang, it was reported that a Rela member on duty at the Social Security Organisation’s Penang office had barred a non-Muslim woman from entering the premises on Wednesday because of her dressing. – Bernama, July 1, 2023
