No problem for TH hotel staff to wear kopiah, songkok - minister
There is no restrictions against any staff of Tabung Haji (TH) Kelana Jaya Hotel from wearing the songkok or kopiah while on duty, said de facto Religious Affairs Minister Idris Ahmad, in reference to the black or white head covering typically worn by Muslim men.
Taking to Facebook last night, Idris said he received feedback from Tabung Haji Board CEO Amrin Awaluddin over an internal memo that stated a THKJ staff is forbidden from wearing the songkok or kopiah while at work.
