It’s nothing new that IIUM female graduates have to wear tudung… I am not sure if the dress code is written in official regulations now, but the dress code has been practiced for years. I just can’t understand why those who are against the dress code have decided to get into IIUM at the first place. [IIUM graduates' dress code]

Don’t get me wrong… I don’t think that forcing non-Muslims to wear a tudung is proper.

You see, the rulers (Agung, Sultans etc) are the head of Islam, but I can’t recall anyone being forced to wear a tudung or songkok when getting into the Palace. [Istana Negara dress code] Shouldn’t IIUM take that as an example to follow instead?

Despite its term as an Islamic university, IIUM is still a public place. If they want to enforce their strict dress code, they shouldn’t be enrolling non-Muslims at all.

The only places that such strict dress code should be enforced is at holy places… unless it’s a mosque or something, nobody should be forced to wear a tudung.
