On June 8, 2015, Suzanna Tan was refused service at an RTD office because she had violated the department's dress code by wearing a skirt that did not extend below her knees, so she was made to wear a sarong before she could be served. She vented her frustrations in Facebook because she was humiliated and her post went viral.
In my opinion, the officials of the Road Transport Department (RTD) could have handled the situation in a better way because they seriously made a blunder by making her wear a sarong. The officials could have handled the matter efficiently by just giving her a warning verbally.
The problem that lies here is the dress code in the government offices. The dress code should be made amendment where if they are dressed decently, they are allowed to enter the office. In Suzanna Tan's case, she did dress decently to the office but were humiliated. After this incident, the government should take appropriate measures to amend the dress code in government offices to prevent this kind of incidents from happening.
