SHAH ALAM: Following an incident where a woman was told to wear a sarong or be refused service at a Road Transport Department (JPJ) office, two women were told to cover up their legs or be denied entry to the Selangor State Secretariat building on Monday.

In a Facebook post, Klang MP Charles Santiago said that a journalist and a resident who were both invited for a press conference were denied entry for their skirts that ended above their knees.
