Understanding democracy


DATIN Paduka Che Asmah Ibrahim, head of the women’s wing of Pertubuhan Ikram Malaysia, is of the view that there should be no discrimination against women, which is a perfectly sensible position to take since it’s the law of the land.

But if she means that Damai Service Hospital is guilty of discrimination for insisting that its nurses wear short sleeves (a rule that has been in place since 1989), then Che Asmah is wrong.
