PETALING JAYA: Tourism in Kelantan would be affected if local authorities continue to fine women for indecent dressing", says Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.
"I would like to urge everyone, including PAS leaders, to learn from Islamic countries that are also influential worldwide, such as Saudi Arabia, which is advanced and developing in its tourism sector while respecting the rights of people of other faiths," he said. He was referring to an incident on Sunday where a non-Muslim businesswoman was issued a compound notice for indecent dressing despite being inside her business premises.
Tiong also cited Articles 3 and 8 of the Federal Constitution, which states that non-Muslims are free to practise their respective religions and are protected from discrimination.
