The Selangor state government had retracted its previous decision to impose a standard controversial ceremonial attire for all Klang Municipal Council (MPK) members.

Selangor exco for Local Government, Housing and Squatters, and Environment Mokhtar Dahlan ( right ) today told malaysiakini that the state has decided to exempt non-Malay members of the council from donning the baju melayu/songkok and baju kurung as a ceremonial attire.

However, he said that the Malay councillors remain bound by the directive issued by the local council.
