SINGAPORE - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong hopes a decision on the wearing of the tudung by Muslim nurses, as part of their uniform, can be announced by the National Day Rally at the end of August.
PM Lee told reporters this on Saturday (April 10) after a closed-door dialogue with about 70 Malay/Muslim community and religious leaders on the issue at the Civil Service Club in Tessensohn Road.
He added that while the Government should prepare to make such a move, as attitudes have changed and the tudung is now more common in social and work settings, more work needs to be done.
