KUALA LUMPUR: Netizens are trolling enforcement authorities in Kelantan for issuing warning notices to seven men for wearing thigh-length shorts.
One netizen said in the past, police officers wore short pants while on duty, but now, action could be taken against members of the public for dressing in a similar way.
Checks by the New Straits Times found that after Malaya achieved independence, police wore khaki uniforms with shorts.
Old pictures from 1957 to 1970 showed that police officers used to wear short pants.
In January 1994, police officers began wearing navy blue uniforms with long cargo pants.
It was reported yesterday that the Kelantan Religious Affairs Department issued warning notices to seven men for wearing thigh-length shorts.
The notices were issued during an operation last Friday at a sisha outlet in Gertak Chaber, Tanah Merah.
