Businesswoman blocked from using MBPG lift, guard says long dress was too short


JOHOR BARU: A 60-year-old businesswoman was baffled when she was barred from using the elevator at the Pasir Gudang City Council (MBPG) here for apparently dressing inappropriately.

The woman, who only wanted to be known as Tan, said she wore a pastel yellow long dress that extended to her mid-calf and covered shoes when she turned up at the council for business licence matters around 11am on Wednesday (Feb 15).
