PETALING JAYA: A non-Muslim woman in Kelantan was issued a compound notice yesterday for wearing “indecent clothing”.

The Kota Baru Municipal Council (MPKB) said the notice was issued to the 35-year-old business owner during a spot check by its enforcement officers at her shop, New Straits Times reported.

“The non-Muslim (business) owner was found to have been wearing shorts at a public place and, for that, she was slapped with the compound notice,” MPKB president Rosnazli Amin was quoted as saying.

Rosnazli said the woman committed an offence under 34(2)(b) of the Business and Industrial Trade By-Laws 2019, which states that non-Muslim business owners and their non-Muslim employees must wear “decent clothes”.

According to the compound notice, which has been circulated on social media, the woman has seven days to settle the amount or face legal action.
