Tudong or not Tudong

I laud the Cabinet for having arrived at the “consensus was that students, regardless of their religions, should not be coerced into wearing the tudung.”

ALL students should not be forced into wearing clothing that is deemed to have religious connotations by the university authorities.

Perhaps the university authorities can now spend more energy on improving the job prospects of their graduates rather than concentrating on superficial issues like student elections and unnecessary dress codes.

We need to give our students some breathing space to grow up and part of that process is to make a few mistakes.

Otherwise when they leave the university, they will be little more than older school children rather than thinking adults.
