Dress code issue rears ugly head again


NO sooner had the furore over the incident of a woman being denied entry at a police station in Kajang died down, the same issue cropped up again, this time at a government hospital.

Turning away members of the public due to their attire is cause for great concern. Staff in the essential services must be made aware of their duties and responsibilities in tandem with the law, as there are respective Acts and standard operating procedures that must be followed when dealing with emergency situations.
