Two Malay women summoned for not wearing full-sleeved T-shirts

Kuala Lumpur, Mar 19 (ANI): Two women in Malaysia, who were promoting their company's new car series, were summoned for not wearing T-shirts with sleeves reaching their elbows.

According to the Sin Chew Daily, a Kota Baru Municipal Council enforcement officer cited the women.

The company's managing director was upset over the summons, saying the council was moving backwards by implementing such a rule.The sleeves already covered their elbows but they were told it did not abide by the dress code for Muslim women," the Star Online quoted him as saying.

The council's public relations chief Azman Dahan refuted the claim that enforcement officers only picked on Chinese operators and businessmen.

He urged operators and businessmen to follow the municipal council's by-laws, as the council would be intensifying its enforcement. (ANI)
