PETALING JAYA: The Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) has stood by its dress code for visitors following a brouhaha over the case of a woman who was turned away for wearing a dress with a hemline that was slightly above her knees.
“The dress code has long been implemented for counter services. It is a good practice which involves everyone in the community, and as practised at other public service agencies,” it said in a statement.
In expressing regret over Friday’s case, CCM also indicated that it was ready to accept suggestions on ways to improve its customer services. The statement came following an incident in which seafood supplier Khor Hooi Chin, whose dress length was slightly above her knees, was denied entry into the CCM building in Ipoh.In a video clip that is being circulated, Khor can be heard asking a male employee which part of her attire was not presentable.
The man then explained that he could not allow her to enter as her dress did not follow the guidelines.She then asked to speak to a staff member, who came to inform her that her attire was not in accordance with the dress code.“After doing all that, I had to wait until 2.45pm for the office to reopen,” she added.“In my case, I had travelled quite a distance to get there. I wasted the entire day before getting my work done,” said Khor, who is from Pantai Remis.
According to CCM’s statement yesterday, “the customer was assisted by CCM officers and completed her transaction at 3.20pm on the same day.”
