According to today's Star paper, Kosmo! reported that a Syariah judge in Malaysia ticked off a model, Shafnie Zainudin, after he found her attire to be highly unsuitable for a Syariah court hearing. The model had worn a long-sleeved blouse with a tight fitting vest and long black pants.You are not here for a photo shoot. Wearing a vest over a blouse makes it look as if you are going for war, the judge had said before telling the model's lawyer to advise her client on the dress code for appearing in a Syariah court. Syariah, by the way refers to Islamic religious laws which have jurisdiction upon every Muslims in Malaysia and it is one of the two separate system of courts which exists in the Malaysian legal system, the other being secular and applies to non-Muslims especially. Shafnie who was a Muslim was in the syariah court to get a ruling to commit her ex-husband, actor AC Mirzal, to jail for contempt of court, as he had failed to settle child-support payments totalling RM50,000 for their two children. With money at stake, I suppose some other people would put war paint on their faces and dressed to kill too..
