No issue with baju Melayu in Selangor assembly, says MB
Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari says the issue of a dress code for the state assembly should not be prolonged
SHAH ALAM: Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari today said he had no issues with assemblymen opting for traditional attire instead of lounge suits amid a dispute over the dress code in the state assembly.
During his winding-up speech for the state’s 2021 budget, Amirudin (PH-Sungai Tua) lamented that the dress code issue had been prolonged.
But, he said, there was a need to discuss the matter at the committee level on the definition of traditional attire, and if other traditional clothes including dhotis or cheongsams were allowed.
He also questioned if traditional attire was practical in the state assembly as the hall “sometimes gets too cold”.
“If we are wearing baju Melayu and the air-conditioning is too cold, we might need to put on ‘long johns’ (warm clothing),” he quipped.
Opposition leader Rizam Ismail (BN-Sungai Air Tawar) responded by saying the temperature in the hall should not be an issue, adding the Dewan Rakyat allows MPs to wear baju Melayu any day.
On Monday, state speaker Ng Suee Lim ticked off several BN and PAS assemblymen for wearing baju Melayu instead of lounge suits, citing the dress code.
Ng did not eject any BN assemblymen the following day after they again came in their baju Melayu.
Opposition assemblymen today mooted a private member’s bill against the dress code ruling but failed.

Fortunately, there is NO female equivalent of Scottish dress code like kilt.
But, then, what's constititing a baju Melayu - knowing that each melayu cults carry their favour!
