A students association has condemned the uniform worn by girls
at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and premarital
sex.
“The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a
source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of
Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari said in a statement
yesterday.
“It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or
not they like looking at it,” she said, calling for a review of
uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals.
Female students at government schools have a choice of wearing a
white blouse with a knee-length skirt or pinafore.
They may also wear a ‘baju kurung’ which is a traditional long top
and skirt, and a headscarf is optional for Malay students.
Munirah said that ‘covering up’ according to Islamic precepts was
important to fend off social ills including “rape, sexual
harassment and even premarital sex which involve schoolgirls in
their teens”.
“All this leads to babies born out of wedlock and to an extent,
even prostitution,” she said.
“Decent clothes which are not revealing can prevent and protect
women from any untoward situations,” she said, suggesting that
girls wear a blouse of a different colour or with an
undergarment.
However, the girls themselves also came in for criticism, with the
association saying some used the white blouse to lure men.
“This is the source of the problem, where we can see that
schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to
them,” Munirah said.
“This could see them getting molested, having premarital sex and
all sorts of things.” — AFP
