Of Pinafores and Malaysia’s Very Free VP of the Association of Islamic Students Malaysia

I have read the most stupid thing today. There are only so many degrees of stupidity and ignorance that this country has managed to churn out for me to see. Today, however, may be one of the top in my list of "The stupid things people say to the press". Wondering what I'm talking about? Check this out.

 

I have worn a pinafore throughout my schooling years in Malaysia. I can honestly tell you that the popular girls wear baju kurung and not the pinafore. Want to know why? The baju kurung may be loose and baggy, but when worn properly, it can be more "seductive" than my good old pinafore. The National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia VP needs to get her head checked.

 

"It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it," she said of the current uniform.

 

How can the pinafore be a distraction?! How can it be sexy!?!? It's loose and as far as I can remember, it makes me look fat! To top it off, let me show you what she said:

"All this leads to babies born out of wedlock and to an extent, even prostitution," she said.

 

 

Can someone tell me how people like this even exist?! I honestly didn't know this level of ignorance and lack of brains existed in our country. That or I was in denial. You know what? Why don't you guys tell me what you think about our pinafores? Let me know which you find more appealing, because heaven forbid, the pinafore is NOT sexy.
