I came across a very interesting posting submitted by
HarakahDaily Dot Net's online reader identified simply by his or her pen name,
Bekas Budak UKM. Well, Bekas Budak UKM raised some sensitive current issues
regarding Malaysian Malay women and I hope that anyone reading this today would
feed on whatever that I'm about to share here with an open mind.
First of
all, the letter submitted by Bekas Budak UKM to HarakahDaily Dot Net expressed
the writer's concern on the current fashion trends of Malaysian Malay women.
Bekas Budak UKM has even listed down his concerns as shown down below:
Some
Malaysian Malay women wore short hijabs that did not really cover their 'aurat'
fully. As matter of fact, their necks are exposed quite clearly.
Some
Malaysian Malay women wore hijabs along with their short tee shirts and some are
even sleeveless exposing their arms and shoulders. I think what Bekas Budak UKM
meant was baby tees, camisoles, raglans and tank tops.
Some Malaysian
Malay women wore hijabs along with their incredibly tight fitting jeans
revealing the shape of their booties (pardon me for saying this) to
everyone.
Bekas Budak UKM did mention a few more concerns but I'm only
interested in the first three as mentioned above. For non-Malaysians and
non-Moslems who are reading this today, you first must understand that majority
(+90%) of Malaysian Malay women are born Moslems. Moslem women are required to
cover every part of their body except their face and hands (from the tip of
their fingers to the wrist joints) when they have reached puberty. Moslem women
are also prohibited from dressing in garments that would reveal their bodily
shapes and curvatures. Wearing transparent or thin clothing is also strictly
prohibited in Islam.
In a sense, the letter submitted by Bekas Budak UKM
is merely an eye opener. I'm a Moslem too and I do not have to be Holy Man to
say that the trends of Malaysian Malay women today are not according to the ways
of Islam. This is a worrying trend and I do share my|healthcare

Please do not ask me why Malaysian Malay women who are born Moslems behaves and
dresses in such manner since I really do not have the answer. By right, every
born Moslems here in Malaysia were exposed to some kind of basic Islamic
education when they were young. Many were sent to religious teaching schools and
were taught all about the Islamic way of life there.
I do wonder just how
in the world did Malaysian Malay Moslem women got into this kind of mess in the
first place. Were they influenced by the mass media such as television shows,
movies and so forth somehow?
