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.
“It is important to respect Malaysia, as a country consisting of a multicultural society.
“You don’t wear revealing clothes in public. For example, even wearing hot pants and showing your navel in shopping malls will not be a polite thing to (do) in public.
“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.

Jaim chief reiterates advice that even non-Muslims should “dress decently” in public
MALACCA: Islamic religious officers have the right to take action against Muslims, including foreign tourists, who are deemed to be “indecently dressed” in public areas, State Islamic Religious Department (Jaim) enforcement chief Rahimin Bani said today.
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.
“Enforcement officers can take action against Muslims, even if they are foreigners who come here as tourists.
“But please don’t get me wrong. Action will not be taken against (indecently-dressed non-Muslims), because the enactment is only applicable to Muslims,” he said when contacted by the New Straits Times here, today.
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.
Rahimin reportedly said that action could be taken against Muslims who do not cover their ‘aurat’ under Section 71 of the Shariah Offences Enactment (Malacca) 1991.
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.
He said it includes Section 268 of the Penal Code for causing public nuisance.
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.
“It is important to respect Malaysia, as a country consisting of a multicultural society.

Penjara 6 bulan, denda RM1,000 jika berpakaian jolok mata di Melaka
Rahimin Bani turut meminta masyarakat bukan Islam dan pelancong asing mematuhi etika berpakaian di tempat awam supaya tidak menjolok mata dan menjaga sensitiviti masyarakat sekeliling.
MELAKA: Jabatan Agama Islam Melaka (Jaim) sedang menguatkuasakan undang-undang di bawah Seksyen 71 Enakmen Kesalahan Syariah Negeri Melaka 1991 bagi membendung perbuatan tidak sopan, terutama berpakaian tidak senonoh di tempat awam.
Ketua Penolong Pengarah Bahagian Penguatkuasaan Jaim, Rahimin Bani berkata, langkah ke atas umat Islam itu selaras undang-undang Jaim sedia ada dan kempen menutup aurat serta etika berpakaian yang sudah lama dilaksanakan di negeri ini.
“Penting bagi kita terutama wanita Islam untuk menutup aurat bagi memelihara kehormatan mereka dan ia adalah sebahagian daripada hukum syarat yang wajib dipatuhi.
“Berpakaian sopan atau menutup aurat juga adalah bagi mengelak sebarang kejadian buruk menimpa mereka. Selain itu, kita tidak mahu insiden bogel yang berlaku di Bentong, Pahang awal tahun ini berulang walaupun ia melibatkan lelaki,” katanya kepada Bernama.
Beliau berkata, umat Islam yang melakukan perbuatan, berkelakuan atau berpakaian tidak sopan di tempat awam bertentangan hukum syarak boleh dikenakan tindakan di bawah Seksyen 71 enakmen sama, iaitu didenda maksimum RM1,000 atau penjara sehingga 6 bulan atau kedua-duanya.
.
Dalam pada itu, beliau berkata, masyarakat bukan Islam juga diminta mematuhi etika berpakaian di tempat awam kerana ia turut tertakluk di bawah beberapa udang-undang, termasuk di bawah Seksyen 268 Kanun Keseksaan, iaitu satu kesalahan yang menyebabkan kegusaran am kepada orang awam.
“Papan tanda berkenaan turut menjadi peringatan kepada semua rakyat di negeri ini, termasuk pelancong dari dalam dan luar negara yang berkunjung ke Melaka agar bersama menjaga etika berpakaian supaya tidak menjolok mata dan menjaga sensitiviti masyarakat sekeliling,” katanya.
Selain itu, katanya, masyarakat bukan Islam juga diminta mematuhi etika berpakaian dan tidak melakukan perbuatan tidak sopan di tempat awam kerana ia tertakluk di bawah Rukun Negara ke-5, iaitu Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan agar masyarakat berbilang kaum dapat hidup dalam suasana aman dan harmoni.
