SEREMBAN: After weeks of speculation, the Education Ministry has confirmed that students enrolling in Form Six will be allowed to use traditional outfits or other apparel as part of their school dress code when they begin the new term in a fortnight.

They will also be allowed to wear batik attire to school under a move by the ministry to “re-brand” Form Six.
