SIX MONTHS AGO in August last year, Law and Home Affairs Minister Shanmugam met with Muslim religious leaders in a closed door dialogue and told them that the government was considering allowing nurses to wear the tudung at work.
At that time, he told them that the government was discussing the matter internally as it could see good reasons to make this change, he disclosed on Tuesday evening. He added that the Government would announce the outcome after consulting the community and other groups.
Discussion on the wearing of tudung has been an ongoing one held behind closed doors, not a recent conversation, But of course, we can expect the crowing from the opposition. No surprise.
