Here are some dressing advice we would like our men in blue to consider before coming up with something like this...
#1. If you must go with 'The Harimau Malaya', please keep the stripes subtle!
#2. If we must go traditional, please use a MALAYSIAN costume. Unlike Miss "Malaysia" here
#3. Make it classy. See how Datuk Shah Rukh Khan looks so suave in the 'kain songket'. We can showcase our tradition, plus our tourist police can perform some 'silat' against criminals
