Colours?

From The Star :

Kuala Lumpur : A Malaysian group condemned the uniform worn by girls at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and pre-marital sex.

“The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Minirah Bahari said in a statement.

“It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it,” she said, calling for a review of uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals.

In multicultural Malaysia, home to majority-Muslim Malays as well as ethnic Chinese and Indians, female students at government schools have a choice of wearing a white blouse with a knee-length skirt or pinafore.

They may also wear a “baju kurung” and a headscarf is optional for Malay students.

Munirah said that “covering up” according to Islamic precepts was important to fend off social ills, including “rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex.”

“This leads to babies born out of wedlock and, to an extent, even prostitution,” she said.

“Decent clothes which are not revealing can prevent and protect women from any untoward situations,” she said, suggesting that girls wear a blouse of a different colour or with an undergarment.

However, the girls themselves also came in for criticism, with the association saying that some used the white blouse to lure men.

“This is the source of the problem, where we can see that schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to them,” Munirah said.

“This could see them getting molested, having premarital sex and all sorts of things.”

I find the claims to be pretty amusing. It's like saying 'I'm in white. Come do me?' People who made the comments. Out of all things , they decided to attack on uniforms. I believe nobody will ever asked to be raped. For normal people that is. Even if girls are in white , doesn't mean guy will be aroused. We have better things to think about at times. Like how Man Utd beat Chealsea? Their jobs? Their outings with friends? Games?

If white is such a distasteful colour , why don't we make everything black? Black shouldn't cause any issues I guess? Wearing black to me is like baking yourself in an oven. It's extremely hot if you're under the sun with all the black cloth covering you. Oh , black made you hot? Guess black is not the right colour after all...
