Such hypocrisy happens in many other religions.

For eg. in chinese temples... believer/visitors are as usual. .. required to dressed appropriately and cleanly . When the worshipping done, they automatically know where to wash their hands in holy water, to purify etc etc...

Bu what bout the aftermath (josstick dust/smell/smoke) overflowed OUTSIDE the temple compounded dirtying the surrounding ?? zero concern affecting others?

if got statement from Hindu monks from Bt Caves temple saying they didnt copy Islam, baru anti-Islam /k/ feel relief..

Wait have u consider this place is a tourism area?
Where tourist come and go and dont have such time for this kind of R&R

274 steps under the sun dah kecoh...lemah betul iman

We dont need to have thousand years of history. as long as we have manners, budi bahasa, and we know how to respect others. U are free to say anything and pls go dai ash tray with ur freedom of expression

otak mati ke?????

annual Kommando rally tak payah buat ke???



ib4, ada pakai......

I went to Batu Caves almost every year with long pants with backpack, it's not an issue

The only time I went there I went there with long pants as well and it was fine. More then 10 years ago though haha

BTW the practise of wearing sarong (Esp entering some temples in Bali & Jogja) is not influence from islamic culture. this is Nusantara-Indian influence --From Southern India, Sri Langka, Burmish, Cambodian, Thais & Indonesian.. all wearing sarong for centuries before the influence of islam to Nusantara..

This is like religious attire vs modern attire. Religious attire more conservative than today's modern attire, they are just trying to adapt a more traditional way of attire which clash with a lot of visitors from inside and outside the country. They of course will be facing less visitors, but I think they know the price they need to pay before they make the decision.

Just respect the place and religion la aiyo.

Yes...
I used to go to Indian temple in the rubber estate when i was young and all of us were wearing shorts and those days , indian also didn't wear shirts and wearing singlets. The Sami even tunjuk his tek tek.. now, these stupid Elites who thinks they donated more money try to govern the people . god never said no but they are playing GOD now.

The farking problem with malaysian is that they don't like PEople Jogging or climbing their temples but they shoot at the Clothing they wear for Jogging. Can we wear Branded track suit then?

Hahahha /k butthurt with temple rules. It's temple anyway, place for hindus to performs prayers. I believe no matter where do you go, if it's a prayer place, at least need to show some respect and follow their requirements/rules. If I have problem following the requirements, then i will not enter. I can't find where the problem is...

i think its better to boarded this thread as now it only serve purpose of bashing religion in general without any context.

some /k/ people just like to see the world burn , without any swagger. Really not smart.

Yes many do have dress codes. Even the bowling club I belong to doesn't allow shorts, but they do make an exception for the knee-length baggy shorts I usually wear. Some restaurants also have dress codes. I once took an old friend for a drink at a karaoke club and he happened to have just come from a game of tennis and was wearing tennis shorts. Security guards stopped him, and asked him to wear long pants or jeans. He didn't have any, so they lent him a pair.

I'm sure most of us are aware of the appropriate attire for the office. Even government offices have dress codes for staff and visitors alike. All this hoo-hah over not being able to wear shorts at a place of worship is really unnecessary.

I see tourist wearing traditional clothes while climbing..if they wear shorts they cover up with dhoti.. Both woman and men. They are tourist the dont complain. Its tourism area of course but if they themselves know when you are at a temple and need to dress accordingly and carry themselves. Why we make a big fuss.. We are a multiracial country. Promoting our religion and traditional dress is away to expand our way of practice towards others. This will give the tourist some kind of enjoyment where trying new experiences in our country. This promotes tourism as well if you look at it at a wider point of view

Are you serious? I know some high class restaurant has it but wow karaoke club got dress code.. They even lend a pair.. Means like they are ready for new ppl who are not aware of the rules.. Wow thats really accommodating.. Thank you for the heads up

Later people will start wearing shorts to office and arguing with HR about transcript in any religion that prohibits people from wearing shorts to office.

No wonder even now there are people who wear sleeveless to office showing their gross looking armpit.

Hmmm u sure all 100% tourist do that?
