A woman who wanted to lodge a police report following a car accident claims she was denied entry into the station because of her attire

A woman who wanted to lodge a police report following a car accident claims she was denied entry into the station because of her attire.

She told FMT an officer at the Kajang police station refused her entry because she was "wearing shorts".

"The officer saw what I was wearing (through the car window) and told me to leave. I was wearing Bermudas that covered my knees," she said. 

She adds the officer refused to listen to her reason that she would have to travel some distance to change.

She said she tried to contact Kajang assemblyman Hee Loy Sian to discuss the matter and to ensure that it did not happen to others.

Contacted by FMT, Hee said he would check with the Kajang police station.

FMT has also reached out to the station for comment.
