"Women working in such businesses, he added, should respect the customs, culture and religious values of Kelantan when in public.

“A woman who wears an indecent outfit does not respect herself, so how can she expect men to respect her?” he said.

He said a woman's morality was something precious and should be guarded.

“Why do people keep their money in wallets or purses instead of walking about with it openly?” he retorted yesterday.

“This is because cash is something precious, just like a woman’s virtue."

its wrong to impose dress codes on people whether muslims or not. Morality iaitu subjektif more so in a multi-religious society where morality defers as some are more tolerant than others. There are those who want to lead a more pious brand of Islam and sebaliknya, hence the government should protect their hak-hak asasi to live without interference from state. Freedom is due here, people should live their lives according to their beliefs, no government should dictate how they should wear or not. Morality police now, haiya, raid people's houses for maksiat. aduhai itu properti milikan sendirian wajar tak religious police menggunakan taktik tersebut. Its also not right to use the values of one religion and impose it on the rest including those hwo don't adhere to islam esp in a multicultural Malaysia you can say: " oh islam is pure, its suitable for for all" dang the christians can also say that, and they would marginalise all the christians in western countries.
