Tangs U-turns on company attire policy after Malay politicians and public outcry; all employees may soon be allowed to wear religious headgear - The Online Citizen

Source: Tangs Facebook
All employees at Tangs – both backend and front liners – may soon be allowed to wear religious headgear while working.
In response to media queries on Wednesday (19 Aug), a Tangs spokesperson said: “Our corporate office colleagues, and back of house employees wear religious headgear, and we plan to standardise this practice across the stores for all.”
This comes after public backlash over an incident where a part-timer promoter at a pop-up booth at the department store was instructed to remove her hijab.
Part-time promoter was allegedly demanded to remove hijab on the spot; vendor told to clear pop-up booth at the end of the day
On 29 July, two Tangs managers approached Nurin Jazlina Mahbob and allegedly told her to take off her hijab immediately.
According to Raine Chin, the vendor running the pop-up booth, who shared the incident on the same day on a Facebook post, she said it was apparently for “professionalism-sake”.
Some of the other rules included not having dyed hair, which Ms Chin has.
Since then, Tangs has said through the spokesperson on 18 Aug that it would “never” ask anyone to immediately remove their religious headscarf.
“As a company with a diverse, and multi-racial workforce, we are respectful of cultural and religious practices and requirements and asking anyone to remove their religious headscarf immediately is offensive, and we would never do so.”
However, Ms Chin said that the two managers did not let Nurin speak up and kept insisting that she remove her hijab.
“I think if I didn’t speak up for her at that point in time, I think Nurin would have been forced to remove her tudung, which I really think is unfair for her,” said Ms Chin.
Tangs added that the guidelines for attire were apparently brought up beforehand.
The spokesperson for Tangs said that it usually has an onsite partner induction process, where they provide “dress code, decorum and other useful guidelines to personnel of our partners”.
However, Ms Chin said that these guidelines were not made clear to her.
She said that there was only a casual briefing for her part-timers on the first and second day on having to wear all-black attires and not being allowed to wear earrings.
Tangs acknowledged that there was a lapse in this instance.
It said: “In this instance, unfortunately, it was our lapse as we did not follow our standard operating procedure. We have looked into this and remedial action has been taken.”
Eventually, the managers let Nurin keep her hijab on for the rest of the day, but about an hour after Ms Chin left Tangs she received a WhatsApp message from her merchandiser at Tangs to clear her pop-up booth at the end of the day as her vendorship to run the booth from 29 July to 13 August has been terminated.
On why Ms Chin was asked to clear her booth, the spokesperson said that the store expects its frontline staff members to be “accorded the same dignity and respect that we offer our partners”.
“Given subsequent verbal exchanges (with Ms Chin) that we prefer to keep confidential, we had to come to the unfortunate decision to part ways.”
Employment Practices Agency has gotten involved and is investigating the matter
A spokesperson for the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (Tafep) said that it is looking into the matter with Tangs’ assistance.
It has reached out to Ms Chin and is asking Ms Nurin to “come forward and provide more information on the incident”.
Tafep stressed that all employers are expected to abide by the principles of fair employment practices set out in the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices.
“Religious attire should generally be allowed at workplaces, unless employers have uniforms or dress code requirements that are suited to the nature of their work, or for operational and safety reasons. Such requirements should then be communicated and explained clearly to employees as well as job applicants,” Tafep said.
Malay politicians have spoken up against the ban of wearing hijabs at the workplace
Senior Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad has taken to Facebook to implore “employers (to) be thoughtful of the policies and practices they set, including inclusivity at their workplaces”.
“I also urge employers to regularly review these policies and take into consideration the views and sensitivities of their stakeholders, such as their employees, customers and business partners.”
He added: “TAFEP shared with me that another major retail store had reviewed its uniform policy to include headgear after receiving feedback from its stakeholders. As for the current case, TAFEP has reached out to the parties involved and is currently looking into this matter.”
Mr Zaqy also told the media that Tafep had told him of another major retail store that reviewed its uniform policy to include religious headgear after receiving feedback from its stakeholders.
Saktiandi Supaat, Member of Parliament (MP) for Bishan-Toa Payoh Group Representation Constituency (GRC), has also spoken out and said that such incidents “need to be addressed (and) more so in this current economic environment and difficult employment outlook”.
He hopes that all employers “abide strongly” by fair employment practices so that “we come out stronger from this Covid-19 crisis and, at the same time, our Singaporean core workers — regardless of race, language or religion — feel taken care of”.
Nadia Samdin, MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, said on Facebook as well that discriminatory hiring practices — including those against age, gender, ethnicity or religion — do not have a place in Singapore.
“It was really disheartening to read (about the incident) and I am glad Tafep is addressing it,” she wrote.
“I also commend the business owner for standing by her part-timer, Ms Nurin, and bringing this issue to light”.

Your pork logic evades all senses. Since muslims never tried subway with bacon, we can never know whether it was nicer or not. So you cannot say for a fact it was nicer with bacon. But the fact is, without bacon subway is nice. That's a fact. That is why people still buy subway.
Truth hurts huh?

Another stupid m&d because never eaten pork and think that the Indian appointed president is Malay.

 

[laksaboy]

Should go to Mustafa Centre. There, you can wear anything.

 

[glockman]

I always try to be sensitive to the querks and idiosyncrasies of the marginalized minorities like muslims and shitskins. As long as they acknowledge and accept my dominion over them. And when that happens, there is peaceful co-existence.

 

[eatshitndie]

I wouldn't buy anything from someone wearing a hijab. I am entitled to make a personal choice regarding who I interact with.

i’m ok if she wears hijab at the top but nothing at the bottom.

I am trying to be impartial here. But fact is with bacon (real pork belly strips not fake bacon like chicken or turkey), everything tastes nicer. Seriously. Without it, the food would still taste OK. But with it, it elevates the entire gastronomic experience to a new level.

 

[A Singaporean]

Muslims will not hesitate to cry foul on any injustice which impact their community but how silence they are when Muslims rape, murder or force conversion of non Muslims. What fucking hypocrites.

 

[gingerlyn]

So many rape cases among Malay Muslim and so many dysfunctional Muslim families but no Malay mp speak up. What happens to this society ?

Pap MPs like to speak up for foreigners. But keep rather silent when having to address locals, regardless of race.

 

[ChristJohnny]

If the non Muslim do not get their act together, I am afraid they will have to bear the consequences for their future generations.

Hiring these people is like hiring toxic. You are not sure when it will bite you.

I had mentioned time and again that integration had failed.

IQ and Race

 

[A Singaporean]

Thats not a nice thing to say to a native! Fuck off where. This is malay homeland.

m&ds are immigrants.

 

[laksaboy]

Muslims will not hesitate to cry foul on any injustice which impact their community but how silence they are when Muslims rape, murder or force conversion of non Muslims. What fucking hypocrites.

Simple... just don't hire (female?) Muslims at all at a workplace which requires the wearing of a uniform. Or at least explain beforehand the stipulated dress code during the interview.

Otherwise, the political pressure and social media virtue signalling shitstorm will happen due to the defiance of a Muslim SJW. Which is what you are witnessing now.

SINGAPORE — Following an incident at Tangs department store where a promoter was allegedly told that she cannot wear her hijab or religious headdress, Mr Zaqy Mohamad called on employers to regularly review their workplace policies and consider the views and sensitivities of their employees.

The Senior Minister of State for Manpower also said that companies should be thoughtful of the policies and practices they set and practise inclusivity.

Mr Zaqy was among a handful of Malay-Muslim political officeholders to speak out about the issue on Wednesday (Aug 19).


TODAY reported on Tuesday that the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (Tafep) is looking into an incident where Tangs employees allegedly asked Ms Nurin Jazlina Mahbob, 20, a part-time promoter at a pop-up booth, to remove her hijab in order to be allowed to work on its premises.

The woman who hired Ms Nurin to man the booth in late July then made public the incident on social media, saying that it was a “ridiculous” demand by Tangs.

Giving its statement, Tangs said that there was a lapse in communication with Ms Nurin’s employer on the dress code and it is cooperating with Tafep’s investigations.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Mr Zaqy called the incident an “important issue for the community”, adding that Tafep has made it clear that recruitment and hiring practices should be based on merit and the worker’s ability to perform the job.

“Religious attire should generally be allowed at workplaces, unless employers have uniform, or dress code requirements which are suited to the nature of their work, or for operational and safety reasons.

“It is important for employers to communicate their uniform policy or dress code clearly and sensitively to their employees and jobseekers and their stakeholders,” he said.

Weighing in on the issue, Mr Saktiandi Supaat, Member of Parliament (MP) for Bishan-Toa Payoh Group Representation Constituency (GRC), said that such incidents “need to be addressed (and) more so in this current economic environment and difficult employment outlook”.

He hopes that all employers “abide strongly” to fair employment practices so that “we come out stronger from this Covid-19 crisis and at the same time, our Singaporean core workers — regardless of race, language or religion — feel taken care of”.

Ms Nadia Samdin, who is MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, said on Facebook that discriminatory hiring practices — including those against age, gender, ethnicity or religion — do not have a place in Singapore.

“It was really disheartening to read (about the incident) and I am glad Tafep is addressing it”, she wrote. “I also commend the business owner for standing by her part-timer, Ms Nurin, and bringing this issue to light”.

Mr Zaqy also mentioned that Tafep had told him of another major retail store that reviewed its uniform policy to include religious headgear after receiving feedback from its stakeholders.

TODAY understands that the retailer is Isetan, which came under the spotlight in 2014 for a similar incident where a sales assistant was allegedly asked to leave the store for wearing a hijab.

‘AN EXCUSE’

Commenting on the latest incident, the Association of Women for Action and Research (Aware) called for a comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation to protect against discrimination on the basis of race and religion, among others.

“Otherwise, prejudiced behaviour will only continue in Singaporean workplaces,” the gender equality advocacy group said on Facebook.

Aware noted that although Tafep has stated that religious wear should be allowed in workplaces unless there are specific uniform or dress code requirements, this guideline “seems to excuse some employers, who can ‘require’ workers not to wear religious attire”.

“Sometimes — as in (the Tangs) case — the official reason for this is the notion of ‘professional’ appearance,” Aware said.

“Yet standards of professionalism are all too often arbitrary and underlaid with implicit bias.”

[Confuseous]

Is President Halimah Yacob only paying lip service to anti discrimination?

President Halimah Yacob has via a Facebook post said that discrimination against anyone has “no place at all” in Singapore society.

She went on to say that “people should be assessed solely on their merits and their ability to do a job and nothing else.” While her statements ring true at face value, how do they stack up with Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat’s statements last year when he said that older Singaporeans were not ready for a non Chinese Prime Minister?

Heng’s statements implied that no matter how good a politician is, he or she can never be prime minister because of the colour of his or her skin. In other words, skin colour trumps ability in the most powerful political office in the land. Not only is this racist, it runs contrary to the entirety of what Yacob is saying.

No matter what Yacob says, her statements cannot really have any impact until and unless Heng’s comments have been explained and accounted for because they are diametrically opposed. Until we address the top establishment’s view points on who can hold power in Singapore, Yocob’s words will ring hollow.

After all, how can she say that discrimination has no place in Singapore when the man that is touted by many to be the future prime minister publicly implies (without empirical data) that a non Chinese person cannot aspire to be Prime Minister?


Besides, what about the police reports hanging over Workers’ Party member of parliament, Raeesah Khan? In police reports that have not yet been dismissed, it has been alleged that Khan, a minority has been racist towards the overwhelmingly dominant Chinese community over Facebook posts she made in the past. A common sense reading of her social media posts indicate a passionate crusader for equality. Yet, the powers be have branded her a racist?

By seemingly taking to task a minority fighting for equality for being racist against the majority race in Singapore, could the authorities be seen to be discriminatory? How do the pending police reports gel with Yacob’s plea to end discrimination?

As the sitting president, what are Yacob’s views on the words of Heng and the pending police reports against Khan? If Yacob genuinely wants to promote anti discrimination, shouldn’t she publicly condemn Heng’s words from last year? Should she also not issue a statement in relation to Khan’s pending police reports?

Is Yacob only paying lip service to anti discrimination?
