Wallets, purses and Kelantanese women

Have a good look at this image, especially if you are a woman working in the retail or restaurant industry in Kota Baru, Kelantan for that is all you can do - just look.

You will not be able to fit into them, courtesy of a dress code in your city.

And if you thought criticisms can revoke the ruling, dream on people.

This is was PAS’ spiritual leader and Kelantan menteri besar Nik Aziz Nik Mat has to say over the ruling:

“Why do people keep their money in wallets or purses instead of walking about with it openly?... This is because cash is something precious, just like a woman’s virtue.”

And the bottom line is this:

“It is an Islamic ruling, so nobody should undermine or question it.”

Do I think the Kelantan folks are going to register their protest through the ballot boxes in the next general election?

Hard to say. They are not protesting. Only people from KL have something to say over this sexy-attire ban. That says a lot right?

My previous posting on this matter.
