Did Right Said Fred get it right?

Ok. Get a bucket ready by your side. Or one of those paper bags people use to throw up in during travelling. I believe that this might cause you to cringe in utter disbelief.

Well, I went into google looking for something earlier, and it led me to igoogle, which had this headline below. My thoughts on the issue are italicised.

School uniform sexy, says group
(Sure, whatever you say)

KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian group condemned the uniform worn by girls at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and pre-marital sex.
OK, I'm listening(reading)...

“The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari said in a statement.
The uniform is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. From the colour right up to the design. It makes you look chubby. I can't imagine anyone being attracted to them (the uniform as well as the kids, cause everything is just too ugly!)

And, for our weather, imagine having the school kids wearing blouses in black or navy. They'd be roasted by the end of the day!!

“It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it,” she said, calling for a review of uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals.
You must be joking, woman! Why would any reasonable grown man be drawn to school kids in uniforms unless they had strange sexual perversions. Note: emphasis on strange sexual perversions. You could be wearing a tent, and they'd think it's sexy. So yeah, go ahead blame the school kids.

In multicultural Malaysia, home to majority-Muslim Malays as well as ethnic Chinese and Indians, female students at government schools have a choice of wearing a white blouse with a knee-length skirt or pinafore.
The standard govt uniform is that offending pinafore and white blouse (which becomes transparent with age due to washing - the country is dusty, and the blouse needs a good scrubbing to look white instead of beige or off white!) Some schools have special uniforms for the prefects. Mostly it's a long sleeved shirt and a skirt, and blazers on assembly days.

They may also wear a “baju kurung” and a headscarf is optional for Malay students.
True.

Munirah said that “covering up” according to Islamic precepts was important to fend off social ills, including “rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex.”
“This leads to babies born out of wedlock and, to an extent, even prostitution,” she said.
She doesn't know that her statements are going to be torn apart and scrutinised, and that she's going to be the laughing stock of May. Covering up is fine, but it doesn't prevent these so called social ills. Does she need to be reminded about the enginner who was raped and killed in a bus although she was 'covered up'. What did she do? Bat her eyelashes?

Munirah should have seriously done a survey prior to this. What I'd suggest is a multiple choice questionnaire with the title "What turns you on" It should be a multiple choice type with pictures (in case people can't remember what the uniform looks like) I'd love to see the look on the faces of the victims of her questionnaire.

Had she done that, it would have saved her from all this embarassment!

“Decent clothes which are not revealing can prevent and protect women from any untoward situations,” she said, suggesting that girls wear a blouse of a different colour or with an undergarment.
Ok fine... but no one has complained till today. You do realise that it is a uniform, and schools are cruel enough to punish you for any modifications. Need I remind you of that poor engineer again? And I disagree with your statement. Decent clothes do not protect. Age does not protect.

However, the girls themselves also came in for criticism, with the association saying that some used the white blouse to lure men.“This is the source of the problem, where we can see that schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to them,” Munirah said.
They're teenagers who are ruled by hormones. Of course they're interested in the opposite sex. (I think boys, and not men) Nevertheless I doubt they use their uniforms for it. I left school only 10 years ago. The girls used to bring other clothes to change into after school, either for tuition or hanging out because it was just plain ugly, and boring. Enough said!

“This could see them getting molested, having premarital sex and all sorts of things.” – AFP
I don't know why I wasted my time on this, but it was fun. You know, Munirah... I think you're a "mat glamour" You want your name to be famous. You want people talking about that mad Munirah woman in the days to come. You want them talking about you in their blogs. I think your wishes just came true!

The school uniform... sexy? How?
