So netizens gonna blame UTM also right? Don't just blame UKM only.
UTM did it next level on female traditonal dress code.

I wonder if all public U follow the same dress code.

HI azirimy UTM Lecturer, glad to see u replying.
any argument and defense that you would like to raise up on UTM convo dress code.

Why female indian graduates are allow to wear sari, female sikh graduates are allow to where punjabi dress, but nowhere mention chinese can wear cheongsam/hanfu?
The next requirement after that is Any other traditional or national dresses are not permitted, which i interpret as other than baju kurung, punjabi dress and sari, all other traiditional clothes is not allowed for female.

If you say cheongsam is short sleeve, there is long sleeve cheongsam. And sari also not long sleeve by default.
And hanfu on other hand is long sleeve by default.

And why male graduate cannot wear traditional clothes other than Baju Melayu?

Do correct me if I understand the requirements wrongly.

Better prepare the speech for your Vice Chancellor in advance
