Essentially, this is my reply to someone who commented on my ikan-ikan article.
So, my point is - in the Quran, there are many ayats about veil, mostly veil of the heart, but veil as in covering over the head is not said, only the bosom. So you will say, if not clear in the Quran, refer [...]

Two videos from Malaysiakini’s Youtube channel below record the panoramic opinions of two young academics on Malaysia’s 12th General Elections.
