Population of Malaysian travellers now are subjected to queueing based on genders.
Yes, just like in the Middle East.
I'm boarding a flight to Bangkok via Malindo and this was the scene at the boarding gate half an hour ago.
Note the woman on the phone walking towards the "female" line was just asked to move away from the line meant for male passengers towards the back of the line meant for women.
I posted this on my Facebook and some argued it could be a more effective method to handle the pat-down for men and women. However there was the problem where female travellers were 3 times the amount of male travellers on this flight. Which meant it wasn't long before the other line (male side) were empty and the security guys were just standing there being idle.
All while the female side was overwhelmed with luggages and passengers.
The method only proved to be highly inefficient.
Whether this is a new policy or a one time occurrence is unknown.
No explanation was given except that whoever was in the wrong line was asked to leave to the queue, only to move to the back of the queue on the 'rightful' side.
What's your thought? Is this acceptable or do you think this is a step toward male and female inequality in our nation? Is the segregation necessary?
