UMNO AGM An Umno delegate who was annoyed with the uniform of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) stewardess which he deemed too revealing has offered sewing services to help them cover up.

Ahmad Darus, a delegate from Penang who was debating on religion and education at the Umno general assembly today, noted that women at his party branches were good at sewing.

"I think many of the Wanita chiefs at our party branches are actually tailors.

"If (MAS) does not have money (to sew up the uniforms), then send them to the branch Wanita chiefs, they can help sew them up," he said.

Ahmad added that he could not comprehend why MAS, which is state-owned, can allow such attires.

"The men are dressed decently but the women, we let them wear 'unsewn clothes'.

"I cannot understand... the uniforms are prepared by us (government-owned MAS), it is not like they are free to wear according to their whims," he said.

As such, he questioned what is the meaning behind the government's sanctioning of such attire.

"Do we want to follow the ways of the white people where men dressed decently but the women are left exposed?" he asked.

Ahmad drew parallels to attires in sports and asked if MAS was trying to emulate the same.

"For example, in beach volleyball, what do the men wear? Short pants. What do the women wear? They only wear underpants.

"These are the ways of the white people and Jews," he said.
