Dear Sir, We would like to appreciate the efforts of RAK Govt and Police department for taking such a wonderful decision. The indecency has grown up to such a level that not only it becomes difficult visit any malls in UAE. The other effect is that the younger generation is getting misguided by the style leading to cause disturbance in the families where it becomes difficulties for parents to handle the kids who are stepping to their teens. We would like to request the Government and Police department of other emirates also to initiate the same. Friends we are forgetting that we are in such a beautiful country with full freedom and liberty, than why should we abuse this rich pure culture. Lets us all respect the same. With regards

The dress code being violated by the youngsters is a reflection of the carbon copy they have inculcated into their inner mind that they felt such a way of life is something very acceptable and the code for recognition. The society have an important role to play in moulding each and every younger generation.Howmuch fashionable you be will be the exsistence for you in your career and hence life, there many values get ignored.When the parents and society forget about their responsibility to be with the growing buds at their each stage of growth these are the feedback we get.

Sources said that complaints have been made by families visiting malls regarding the clothes as well as the unusual hair styles of the youth. Authorities organised a campaign in which several youngsters were caught.
Revealing dress
