The Kelantan government will advise civil servants who show up for work in tight-fitting clothes.
Exco member in charge of Islamic Development, Proselytisation and Publicity Mohd Nassuruddin Daud said there are existing dress codes for civil servants.
“We don’t deny that there are staff who prefer tight-fitting clothes. We will ask the administrators to advise (the offenders). We will take action,” said Nassuruddin during the seventh Dialog Ummah Negeri Kelantan event last night.
Nassuruddin, who is the Meranti assemblyperson, said this to a question from a programme participant.
In the past, the state government has repeatedly invoked Section 5 of the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code 1985 to punish people - even men - in body-hugging or “revealing” clothes.
To a question on the role of education in dealing with Kelantan’s social ills, Nassuruddin said parents have a role in instilling morality.
“In terms of Islamic education, we have the mosques, surau and madrasah. Schools teach Islam as well. Alhamdulillah.
“Families must play their role as well. Some parents do not pay attention to Islamic upbringing. We must not only learn knowledge but behaviour as well,” he said.
The business of government, Nassuruddin added, is to govern while parents must play their role in instilling Islamic education. - Mkini
