Teacher Tears `Too Short` Baju Kurung Uniforms
Kota Kinabalu- What should be the correct length of a baju kurung uniform for students?
Can teachers tear the uniform if it is short?
Sabah Umno Youth is asking these questions after a teacher in the east coast Beluran agricultural district tore the baju kurung uniforms of 13 secondary students as she found them too short.
The wing‘s state education bureau chairman, Abdul Wahab Gani, said the Education Department should explain if there were any regulations that stipulated the length of the traditional Malay attire used by students.
“A question of how short or how long a baju kurung uniform is not stipulated under the Education Ministry‘s regulations or by the state Education Department.
“It only states the type of cloth to be used.”
Abdul Wahab said that disciplinary action should be taken against the teacher.
Declining to name the school, he said that the parents of the students highlighted the issue to the bureau after little was done by the school or department to clarify the matter to them.
