He was responding to complaints made by members of the public – Muslims and non-Muslims alike – against religious officers who have been policing how people, even non-Malaysians, dress. Rahimin was also asked to respond to a statement he made recently, which drew the ire of non-Muslims, when he urged both Muslims and non-Muslims to dress decently in public areas. In the interview with Bernama, Rahimin also urged non-Muslims to dress modestly to avoid “causing public annoyance”, as there are several laws at hand to tackle such issues. Rahimin added that while no action could be taken against non-Muslims, he advised them to “dress decently” according to their own morals and religion. "I am saying this because I have received complaints (on scantily-dressed people) from members of the public – not just from Muslims, but also non-Muslims,” he said.
