Principal: Student misunderstood instruction over baju kurung

Mohd Amir Abdul Ghani, principal of SMK Seri Mutiara, said the school had never stopped any non-Muslim student from wearing the baju kurung but emphasised that the attire had to be worn correctly.

"If they want to wear the baju kurung, the students have to wear them properly, which means buttoning up all the way. When we tell them this, they say we (the school) do not allow them to wear the baju kurung.
