SHAH ALAM: First, it was the Road Transport Department (JPJ). And then the Selangor government looked to also be joining in on the act by demanding that two women wear sarong or be refused entry into the state secretariat building.

The incidents came to light through a Facebook post by Klang MP Charles Santiago who said that a journalist and a resident who were invited for a press conference were denied entry for wearing skirts that stopped just above the knee.
