PETALING JAYA: Several organisations and individuals today slammed Kuantan MP Wan Razali Wan Nor for saying uniforms worn by nurses were too tight and not shariah-compliant.
While the nurses’ union defended the uniform, saying it was not figure-hugging, the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) said it was a shame that the PAS MP was more concerned about the nurses’ dress code at a time when the public was concerned about the sustainability of the country’s healthcare system.
Malayan Nurses Union president Nor Hayati Abd Rashid said the uniforms nurses wore were designed to be functional and to make it easier for them to carry out their duties
She maintained that the uniforms were not tight and that they adhered to guidelines set by the health ministry.
