Malaysia's Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar has criticised the
Netherlands over a proposed government ban of face veils, saying it was
discriminatory and violated the rights of Muslims.
"This is again
another imbalance treatment. Why can't people have the freedom to dress the way
they want to dress.
"People can go naked and wear scanty dresses and yet
you do not condemn them. And when people want to cover themselves that is their
right," he told reporters.
Rita Verdonk, minister of immigration and integration, said the bill proposed a ban on the basis that covering the face constituted a risk to public order and safety.
"You do not tell people how they should dress. Okay if you have a problem of identification. You ask them to open for the purpose of identification. But to tell them they cannot wear, that is not right," Syed Hamid said.
Sure, I agree with Syed Hamid, you should not tell people how they should dress. If Islamic ladies choose to cover their face, it's their right.
But I hope Syed Hamid will also give an answer to the following question : What's the purpose of having CCTV installed at banks or airports?

Please don't talk about freedom and right, you made us want to puke!
Q: What's the purpose of having CCTV installed at banks or airports?
A: In the context of Malaysia, they are for peeking down the cleavage of innocent girls. This in turn reinforces the necessity of covering as much body surface as possible.
In the background, Abdullah yelled: "See?"
Q: What's the purpose of having CCTV installed at city hall?
A: For ppl who work there have extra entertainment sessions to peep at female reporters' underwear.
