KUALA LUMPUR: Several medical organisations in Malaysia have come out to defend the uniforms of nurses in the country following criticism by an opposition lawmaker from the Islamist party Parti Islam Se-Malaysia that the uniforms are “tight” and “show their body shape”.
“I would like to ask if we still want to follow the Western way in this dressing etiquette. Is it irreversible and cannot be given flexibility?”Condemning Mr Wan Razali’s statement, Malaysian Medical Association president Dr Muruga Rajathurai said that the current nurses' uniform under the purview of the Ministry of Health is practical as it does not appear to restrict the movement of nurses carrying out their duty.
According to Free Malaysia Today , Ms Nor Hayati maintained that the uniforms were not tight and that they adhered to guidelines set by the health ministry. She noted that nurses used to wear skirts in the 1980s but the dress code changed to pants to be more Syariah compliant. “Wan Razali’s comment is unprofessional and politically motivated. When we expect MPs to focus on debating important healthcare reforms in the health white paper, the PAS MP was focused on the cut of the uniforms. What a joke,” he said, according to FMT.
