So if I were to summarize your argument, you're basically saying since you don't see any discrimination against free-hair malay women then discrimination doesn't exist.
I've seen first-hand how my female friends got called sluts and all kinds of names just because they made a concious choice not to cover their aurat. Throughout my life, girls in schools are also are forced to wear tudung as part of their uniform despite no wearing it elsewhere. Even Indonesia realises now that wearing headscarves is an individual choice. The fact that we are officially worse than Indonesia in this respect shows that we are indeed, becoming more conservative.
There had been surveys that show most women do not voluntarily choose to wear tudung. Celebrities who experimented with tudung and decided to take it off are often criticized on social media too.

Is covering up obligatory in Islam? Yes
Is there a law that enforces it? No
So long there is no law to enforces, (e.g., like the law disallowing smoking and drinking alcohol in public, by Selangor, religious department), then you not violating any law.
And then, of course there is nothing Islamic or ethical, in calling names just to pressure others to wear tudung.
