KOTA BARU: The Kelantan government has reminded all Muslim female municipal council staff to cover their aurat and dress decently.
State Local Government, Health and Housing Committee chairman Dr Izani Husin said this was to ensure that the good image of the state government was maintained.
“This is only a reminder. So far, we have not received any complaints (regarding local municipal council female staff wearing revealing clothes).
“In conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2020/Visit Kelantan Year 2020, we anticipate more tourists will visit the state.
“Therefore, we must make sure our slogan ‘Membangun Bersama Islam’ (Develop With Islam) is put into practice,” Dr Izani said after witnessing the appointment of 24 Kota Baru Municipal Council members here today.
Dr Izani said the state government was confident that the state capital would achieve city status in three years time.
To realise this, he said the government would focus on five areas, and would ensure all civil servants and members of the public followed the directives.
“The areas include ensuring cleanliness, ensuring traders do not hike up prices of goods, and ensuring locals be polite and nice when dealing with others, especially tourists,” he said.
