KB council bans lipstick, high heels
“KOTA BARU: Muslim women employees working here are forbidden to wear lipstick and high-heeled shoes to work.
The circular stated that the directive, targeted at Muslim women employees working in food outlets and other business premises, was issued to prevent incidents like rape and illicit sex as well as to safeguard the morals and dignity of Muslim women in Kelantan. “

As a distributor of Arissa Studios Cosmetics and a fellow Malaysian, I find this statement made by the municipal council extremely ignorant and stupid. Let me break it into easier points just in case the PAS government is reading this blog.
Lipstick is an accessory used by women worldwide to enhance their lips and give their lips colour. That is the basic functions of cosmetic, to brighten oneself. In the service industry especially, being radiant, cheerful and have a pleasant personality improves customer relationships and automatically business. How can having luscious lips leads to sex?
What about high heel shoes? Yes, taller womens are considered more attractive but I doubt normal Malaysians go around raping tall girls. Are there any statistics that shows that tall girls get rape more often than shorter girls? Let us consider the following statement made by the municipal council; “It stated that Muslim women were forbidden to wear thick make-up, bright coloured lipstick and high-heeled shoes which made a tapping sound. Those who insisted on wearing high-heeled shoes should choose those with rubber soles.”
Wow such amazing statement. I wonder when the girls tap on their shoes, are they sending out morse code for sex? Do guys in Kelantan get turn on when they hear tapping sounds? How about banning tap water?
Why not ban comb? I am sure combing girl’s hair is consider illegal too as it makes you look neat and beautiful? After that, we can ban deodorant too and perfume too! Oh yea, the smell will intoxificate the men and cause them hallucinations and will increase rapes. Why stop there ya? Ban shampoo too as it makes hair silky smooth and luring to men.
Let us be more sensible here. How expose can a women working in fast food or business premise be? Most fast food centres have uniforms too and I believe women dress professionally in business areas. Stop degrading women as merely sex objects for men to rape and also please stop generalizing that being beautiful leads to rape. Old ladies, young girls (boys), mentally challenged women get rape too.
Here is a thought for PAS. How about banning men from Kelantan all together and all you Pas members can get a hard on thinking of the women alone without interferences? Now I hope you don’t ejaculate by the thought ya.
There are better more important issues to consider rather than pissing off the sultan with petty concert matters and highlighting women attire as the cause of rape. Do work hard for the people; easing the burden of rising cost, providing more jobs opportunities and perhaps even attracting investment to boost the country networth.

I believe this is only a small issue to distract poeple from BN’s poor strategy to help the rakyat….all sorts of nonsense especially from MSM(main sex-maniac), u know what i mean….BN is now too busy to feed its cronies and fend off people from knowing their plans in secret by finding newfound no sense stories….perhaps they are amoral( no sense of marality) or are BN ignorant of their arrogance selfish behaviour?PAS is not that bad…..thay are not the ones who increase our petrol price……in fact its only BN who do so…..So, who is the devil?Who is the idiot?U know it already……
