KOTA BARU: The state government’s implementation of a dress code and advertisement guidelines is to curb the spread of immorality among the people, said PAS spiritual advisor Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat.
“Yes, we have asked Muslim women to cover up, while non-Muslims should dress decently. When there is no display of provocative behaviour, there is also no bad example for others and the young to ape,” he said when asked about the latest controversy arising from the Kota Baru Municipal Council’s order for some shops to remove print advertisements that contain pictures of “uncovered” women, some of whom were in provocative poses.
