Prepare to be shocked, because yet again, a woman has fallen victim to absurd dress code regulations. This time, it's a non-Muslim Kelantanese woman who found herself on the receiving end of a fine simply for wearing shorts in public.

The incident took place in Kota Baru, where the Municipal Council (MPKB) wasted no time slapping her with a fine. The 35-year-old woman, who happens to run her own clothing business, was targeted during a routine check by the council's enforcement officers. 


According to MPKB's president, Rosnazli Amin, the officers paid a visit to the woman's outlet on Jalan Merbau at around 11 am. They had issued her a compound notice for wearing what they deemed to be indecent clothing.

Rosnazli went on to explain that the woman was charged under the Business and Industrial Trade By-Laws 2019, specifically section 34(2)(b). Apparently, this by-law has been in existence for quite some time, and according to Rosnazli, both locals and non-Muslims are expected to be familiar with it.

To add insult to injury, the poor woman now has seven days to settle the compound or face legal consequences. Her relative even took to social media to share the compound notice, igniting a wave of anger among netizens.
