Uproar in Alor Setar as billboard ‘dress code’ ruling comes under fire


Anyone’s guess: Another billboard showing some models wearing wide smiles. But whether they are decently dressed or not is up for debate.

ALOR SETAR: The Alor Setar City Council has come under fire for following Kelantan in implementing a ruling that requires non-Muslim models to be decently attired on billboards.

State MCA chairman Datuk Chong Itt Chew insisted the ruling affected non-Muslims in the state, saying: “The council should have consulted the state's multiracial population before coming up with the ruling.”
