2. Malay Dressing - Women Tudung/Selendang
Among the Muslims, another mandatory piece of clothing is the scarf called either the tudung or selendang. This should cover the hair and the ears, in accordance with the Islamic dress. The selendang has been part of the Malay women's wardrobe for ages, though with greater understanding of Islam a stricter observance of what should be concealed and what can be exposed is now practiced. When a Muslim girl reaches puberty, she should be encouraged to cover her whole body except her face and hands. At this point, she may decide to don a piece of head scarf.

3. Malay Dressing - Women Baju Kurung
The baju kurung looks quite like men’s wear. It is a simple knee-length blouse worn over a long skirt pleated at the side.The outfit is completed with a selendang or tudung around the shoulders or on the head . Baju kurung too can be matched with "kain songket", "batik" or even "pelikat".
The baju kurung is more liked by people because it covers the whole body except for the palms and the face which is considered to be polite. The baju kurung is more suitable with the teachings of Islam as it is not exposing the whole body except for the palms and the face.
