Parliament ditching neckties make MPs more approachable, says Loke


PUTRAJAYA: The policy to not make the use of neckties compulsory for government events and engagements intends to send an important message which goes beyond just the aspect of style, says Anthony Loke (pic).

"This sends a message not only in terms of style but a message that we are less formal, easily approachable, and that we hope will strengthen the bond among us and the people as well as colleagues," the Transport Minister said during his keynote address at his ministry on Friday (Feb 3).
