YOURSAY | ‘Why the fuss over a shirt when he is decently dressed?’ PM rebukes home minister over dress code blunder Methink: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Hulu Terengganu MP Rosol Wahid should be reprimanded instead for not sticking up for national pride and sustainability. Batik should be worn daily. Why are we aping what they wear in the West when it is unsuited to our climate and needs Arctic-level temperature air conditioning to allow comfort? Batik is our national identity and is environmentally friendly because the air-con temperature can be increased and batik material can be sourced locally.
Or perhaps MPs have too much pay and allowances to become clothes horses for Western fashion and can afford to prance around with their woollen suits and Armani ties. Time to reduce MPs’ pay and allowances and turn up that air conditioning for the environment and sustainability. Stand For Truth: if politicians want to limit our future generation to studying all subjects in Bahasa Malaysia only, should not our politicians be proud to wear batik and sarong to Parliament? Why Western-style formal suits? Sarong and batik are very traditional! WargaMasBiasa: Why the fuss over a shirt when he is decently dressed? Just look at our parliamentary brethren south of our border in that first-world country - just plain shirts and pants in Parliament.
We have many more important issues to address. YellowCondor6925: If Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail can’t even understand a si.
