KOTA BARU: The Kelantan Islamic Religious Affairs Department (Jaheaik) has stressed that summonses issued against Muslim men and women caught for indecent dressing are meant to educate them. He was commenting on a recent case of a 30-year-old man who was issued with a summons by the department for ‘indecent dressing' after he was caught wearing shorts in public which went viral on social media. The man claimed he had stopped to buy a burger wearing shorts as he was on his way to play futsal. Mohd Fadzuli said the department's action was nothing extraordinary as 85 people had attended the counselling sessions from January to May, while 72 others were expected to attend the next session next month. - BernamaRelated story:Muslim man who wore shorts to play futsal faces fine by Kelantan religious authorities
