Just recently, a Malaysian man was asked by the Mak Cik security guard in the KL National Mosque to don a hijab to cover his hair. He was misunderstood as a lady due to his long hair.

The Makcik insisted he put on a hijab even after being told repeatedly that he was a man. The TikTok clip circulated and got the attention of the management of the mosque itself. Yesterday (April 7), the management issued a public apology via a statement shared on the official FB page of Masjid Negara Malaysia and explained their next course of action.

“We take this matter seriously and we would like to apologise for the security guard’s confusion and mistake.”

According to the management, the Makcik security guard was appointed through a 3rd party by the government.

“We have since reminded the security guard to be more alert in carrying out her duties.”

Facing issues with the security guards? Scan and report

The management of the mosque also reminds its congregants and visitors that they are always allowed to lodge a report if they face any issues with the security guards at the premise.

All you have to do is scan the QR codes at the respective table posts which contain the details of the security guards.

“This will allow us to take further appropriate actions.”

The management extended its apologies again to the public for the incident, and to those who are affected by the matter.

“We will make sure that history will not repeat itself to maintain the reputation and the image of the mosque.”

In case you are not aware, Muslim women are obligated to cover their body and hair, except for face, and hands. Muslim men, on the other hand, should only have their belly button until the knees covered.

During the incident, the viral man told the Makcik security guard that he was a man and there was no need for him to keep his hair covered. The Makcik, however, refused to listen and insisted the man to put on a hijab.

The man, however, has yet to respond to the matter.
