PETALING JAYA: PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has welcomed AirAsia’s decision to give female Muslim cabin crew members the option to wear the hijab while on duty, describing this as a benchmark for other airlines in Malaysia.
Tuan Ibrahim said this was not only in line with the religion’s demands but reflected the reality that more than 60% of Malaysia’s population were Muslim.
The Kubang Kerian MP said it also reflected the budget carrier’s understanding of the freedom one has to practise their religion, as provided for under the Federal Constitution.
