I was denied access to the police station because my skirt was short...Which country is it?
|
According to local media Shinchu Daily, a 56-year-old Guo had a collision with another vehicle while driving in Malacca, Malaysia with his daughter at around 2 p.m. on the 8th. The other driver was a young man with a wife and two children.
The two sides headed to the police station after the accident, but Guo and his daughter were denied entry because the dress with the skirt raised above the knee was against the regulations. Guo asked for an exception, explaining the situation, but the police in charge refused, saying they could be reprimanded by their superiors if they violated the regulations. Instead, he recommended buying and wearing pants from a nearby shopping mall. Eventually, the mother and daughter bought pants and visited the police station again to report them.
In response, Kuo responded, `It is hard to understand that I visited the police station due to an unexpected accident, but I can't report it because of my clothes"I wonder if these regulations will be applied to reports of serious crimes such as murder." he complained.
In the wake of the controversy, the Malacca Police Commissioner said in a statement that the women were not injured and therefore did not consider it an emergency"We have guided you to comply with the dress code in accordance with government guidelines dated December 1, 2020."
He stressed that `When using the police complaint window, dress codes must be observed, but exceptions apply in cases of emergency or immediate action.'
The case was also discussed by the Cabinet.
A government spokesman said in an announcement on the 10th that `We believe that there should be no restrictions on the public's reporting to the police due to security concerns.'""Essential service institutions such as police stations and medical facilities will be improved in a way that excludes them from the application of dress codes ""
