COMMENT | Police should monitor crime, not skirts and shorts

COMMENT | If a woman has just had her handbag snatched, can she go to the nearest balai (police station) to lodge a report – if she is wearing a short skirt? What if she had been assaulted and her clothes are torn in the “wrong” places?

In the most recent case, a lady went to a police station in Kajang, Selangor, but was denied entry as she was wearing longish Bermuda shorts and this was against the “dress code”.

Is this what the police slogan and theme song “Sedia Berkhidmat” or “Ready to Serve” is all about?...
