Minister: KB council fine infringes on non-Muslims' right to wear shorts
The Kota Bharu Municipal Council's (MPKB)'s decision to fine a non-Muslim woman for wearing short shorts while in her own shop had infringed on her constitutionally guaranteed freedoms, Local Government Development Minister Nga Kor Ming said.
He said such freedoms should be respected in a multiracial society.
"This was a non-Muslim trader in her own shop and she was wearing shorts. These are fundamental rights and freedoms which are guaranteed in the Federal Constitution," he told reporters in Cyberjaya today.
Nga said he has asked MPKB and the PAS state government to retract the compound if possible.

'Indecency' does not include wearing T-shirt and shorts, says Bersatu leader
