PETALING JAYA: The importance of covering one’s head in a place of worship is a gesture of respect and modesty, says Hannah Yeoh.

In addition to mosques, the Segambut MP said, some other places of worship also require women to cover their heads."The act of covering our heads in the presence of those we revere is done out of respect. It is also an act of modesty."As an elected representative for 13 years in multiracial constituencies like Segambut and Subang Jaya, I have always practised this respectfully when I visited my constituents."We need to stake our claim for a moderate Malaysia.

"Respect those around you and apply kindness to your neighbours. Selfishness is the recipe for disaster. "Let the voices of moderate Malaysians resound loudest in our workplaces, our neighbourhoods, our family gatherings, our places of worship and our social media," she said on Facebook on Sunday .In fact, she said it had only further strengthened her faith.Yeoh was recently criticised for donning a headscarf while visiting a mosque, with former Johor DAP chief Dr Boo Cheng Hau describing it as a"superficial gimmick" that would not bring long-term benefit to the party.

True, all must respect places of Worship regardless. Why waste so much time in bickering abt this? Is this another sidetrack, to let rakyat loose their attention on major problems?

Sadly, not only DAP has such bigots, all political parties have them. Each party needs to rid those leaders.
