KUALA LUMPUR: The government should introduce shariah-compliant uniforms for flight stewardesses serving the country’s airline companies in line with the country’s image as a Muslim country, said Senator Hanafi Mamat.
He said the move would not hurt the airline companies because their survival depended on delivery of quality service.
“We are proud that Malaysia is an Islamic country with its own cultural identity, but when our flight stewardesses dress sexily and disrespectfully, this will give tourists who use the services of our national carriers the wrong impression.

Why shariah complaint on dresses? Please believe in Allah swt, but there's no necessity to ape the Arabs as our environmental conditions are completely different, with dry moisture-sapping air in the M-E and tropical heat and high humidity in Malaysia.
Why not in accordance with Malay or Malaysian culture? Malay culture evolves over thousands of years in accordance with our surroundings. We are NOT living in the M-E or are Arabs you know.
Ideally Malays should dress in baju kurung, Indians in sari and Chinese in cheongsum, but I am supportive if all are to dress in baju kurung with (when not serving meals) selendang.

absolutely gorgeous and stunning I have to admit I like the sari best, wakakaka |
But the best is still the gorgeous sarung kebaya, a truly Malay/Malaysian costume.
 |
today Chinese Malaysians have taken on the cultural responsibility of keeping the sarung kebaya alive for Malaysia - thanks darlings for your keen sense of citizenship responsibility |

Oz thinking of new syariah-compliant airlines to serve Middle east and Malaysia? |
