Since last year… or was it since two years ago, every staff of the civil service must wear batik once a week… that is on every Thursday. And I really don’t like this arrangement… coz every time someone goes up or every time the leadership changed, the new comer will introduce something new and sometimes silly.. but for this case I will say it is silly… but lucky it was not made compulsory like at the federal level 😛 You can’t force everyone to buy batik coz batik is quite expensive… and if the reason you doing this is to make your ‘business’ prosper, that is so bad… that is taking advantage on the poor people!

Another one is batik neck tie. Wearing neck tie is already a nuisance to some… you can’t wear neck tie when your job functions don’t permit you to wear it… like technicians… I pity watching computer technicians with long sleeves and neck tie going under the table, climbing the wall into the ceiling to do troubleshooting 😛 Of course I’m not suggesting them to wear batik bow ties 😛 but dressing must be suitable according to job function… just like sometimes ago, doctors was suggesting that medical staff should not wear neck tie coz it is unhygienic… which I somehow agree with.
