Teen’s skirt ‘not nice’, no entrance to library


I’M a 14-year-old girl. I love reading, and my family often visits the Petaling Jaya Community Library. However, I recently had a bad experience there that has made rethink things a little. I don’t really know who to blame exactly, but here it is.

On the afternoon of Nov 26, my mother took my sisters and me to the library after we had been shopping; I was wearing a pair of casual denim shorts. Nothing too revealing but they did end above my knees since it was hot outside. We forgot about the rule (depicted in a picture sign outside) “no shorts, no slippers and no short skirts”. It wasn’t our first time at this library but this time it just slipped our minds.
