SEE NO EVIL.....THINK NO EVIL

I guess the Vice President of National Islamic Students' Association of Malaysia had just finished her exams and was looking for some new issues to tackle. Scouting around, she saw some school girls walking and laughing happily. Gazing at them intently, she spotted something suspiciously " sexy". "Ah-ha!, I knew it! This is what has been causing the decline of morals in our country!" She then proceed to lamblast the white uniform worn by the girls as "... being too transparent.......such that it becomes a source of attraction...... encouraging rape and pre-marital sex." Simple logic!!





I guess school girls are always fair targets certain 'pious groups'. I remember when I was running a school in Tuaran, a certain 'pressure' group tried to force me to put in the school 'Rules and Regulations' a clause to make it compulsory for Muslim girls to wear the 'tudung'. "No way. There's a Ministry circular (signed by the Director General, Datuk Aisah) that forbids this compulsion. Any 'tudung' worn should be of their own free will." Failing this, the issue was brought up again and again during staff meetings. One of the men said he was distracted by the 'half cup bra' that the girls were wearing. "Really? You really have x-ray eyes." I couldn't even make out if it's full cup or half cup! Anyway the girls wore camisoles, so what more does he want. I advised him to advert his eyes if that was bothering him - otherwise he should transfer to an all boys school, "Cikgu juga boleh pandang dinding belakang kelas jika tidak mahu rasa dosa!" 

Anyway, this issue was never laid to rest until he was transferred back to the west.

Then there was a certain principal who wanted all the non-Muslim girls to wear 'baju kurung' because he said 'their exposed legs were a distraction.' One day during assembly, he scolded the girls for their skirts ( mind you, the pinaform were calf length) saying, "I can see your undies. "Ada kamu yang pakai merah, ada yang pakai hitam." Kudos to the students for not bursting out in laughter. The staff were shocked!! Another guy with x-ray eyes!!

So gatal and self-righteous at the same time.... geli man to think that there are such men serving as educators
