Tell me the truth, but you must be properly dressed

When I read about the two ratepayers, who happened to be DAP members, being shown the exit during a Taiping council meeting, for not meeting ‘dress-code’ requirement, it really made me angry. Little Napoleons at work? Lack of transparency leading to morbid fear of nosey parkers?

Once, in Batu Gajah Land Office; I was told that my wearing shorts and slippers made it improper to meet their officer! So what does this imply? That one has to be able to afford proper clothes to seek any redress? Or that those who can afford to own a house should be able to dress up properly? Indians, who favour dressing like Gandhi, not welcome?


So this picture of Najib, who appears to be representing Pak Lah’s big ears, would seem just for public relations purposes, especially when it was done in Kelantan, the top priority state for victory this coming elections.
