Hot or Heat??

A Malaysian group condemned the uniform worn by girls at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and pre-marital sex.

National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia VP Munirah Bahari said that the white blouse of school uniform is too transparent for girls and becomes a source of attraction to encourage rape and pre-marital sex.

“It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it,” she said, calling for a review of uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals.

They have nothing else to do and came out with this not-smart idea to review the uniform policy. They must have been sitting in air condition rooms for too long and forget about their school life wearing that uniform. Nevertheless, these people cannot recall how hot, stuffy and sweaty is the atmosphere in classes and school compound just by wearing the thin-cloth uniform that they refer to. The environment is smelly enough with everyone’s’ odors. (Unless the school is fully air-conditioned, you can now ask all the students to wear sweater and long pants to school)

I don’t see a problem with Chinese and Indian students putting on a blouse and a pinafore. Those 2 layers are enough to produce liters of sweat and yes! It covered areas that are supposed to be covered. Unlike baju kurung, it is only one layer of long white blouse which are equivalent to short white blouse being worn in the blue pinafore.

Munirah said that “covering up” according to Islamic precepts was important to fend off social ills, including “rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex.”

You want to Islamize all the students kah? If that is Islamic precepts then just apply it to all Islam students not everybody. In fact, as I said, baju kurung if far more revealing than the 2 layers of blouse and pinafore.

“This leads to babies born out of wedlock and, to an extent, even prostitution,” she said.

Uniform transparency is not the major factor leading to this duh! If you really want to prevent, take action on the main factor lah. Parents consent??? Religious teaching??? Morality trainings???

Why only teach Islamic religion teaching in school? What about the Buddhist, Hindu, Christian and other minority religion teaching? You don’t provide them in school do you?

However, the girls themselves also came in for criticism, with the association saying that some used the white blouse to lure men. “This is the source of the problem, where we can see that schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to them,” Munirah said.

So what is your main point in this issue? Even with the damn thick uniform and fully covered, this social illness can never be revamp if the girls intention is already there. If the authority really review the policy and make changes, will it really helps?

What do you think~~?
