Cuepacs, which represents 140 unions, also praised the staff of these offices who had used their own money to buy sarongs for visitors who were improperly dressed.
Cuepacs would also be sending out a certificate of appreciation to a Rela (People’s Volunteer Corps) member who was at the centre of the dress code controversy at the Sungai Buloh hospital, its president Datuk Azih Muda said today.
Azih said the dress code at all government offices and buildings has always been in place and civil servants were just doing their jobs by enforcing the code.
“The aim of the dress code is get people to dress modestly, it is applicable to everyone. You cannot just go to someone’s house dressed however you want,” Azih told reporters.
“But no one is to blame in these incidents. The personnel are not wrong for following the rules and the client is also not wrong as they may have forgotten about the dress code.
“The people who are wrong are those who are posting comments and sensationalising something that should not be sensationalised in the first place.”
The RTD guard had caused a storm on social media for ordering a woman who had gone to the department’s Gombak office to wear a sarong. The women had worn a skirt which was above her knees.
