KUANTAN: The dispute between a security guard and a visitor at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA) here yesterday was due to a misunderstanding on the dress code, said Pahang Health director Datuk Dr Nor Azimi Yunus.
She said the incident that occurred during visiting hours was likely due to a misunderstanding by the security guard about the definition of the dress code to enter the hospital.
"So far, no problem has arisen for visitors who are dressed in such a way to enter during visiting hours, except for those who are not decently dressed.
"HTAA has taken appropriate measures to make the security guards understand that they should not take any enforcement action without official instructions from the hospital," she said in a statement issued earlier today.
Dr Nor Azimi said that after the incident, there were no more problems in terms of dress code at the hospital.
She was responding to several videos which went viral on social media showing that a visitor was denied entry to the hospital for wearing a pair of shorts that did not cover her knees. – BERNAMA
