Women going out wearing baju kelawar in the evening, to get groceries or to go makan dinner is so normal in Malaysia…

No worries, we get it... Baju kelawars are so comfortable and the fabric is cooling, especially with Malaysia’s hot and dry weather. That’s why women prefer to wear baju kelawar at home, especially in the afternoon!
And apparently, men like wearing them, too!
In the video, the young boy can be seen walking to the counter wearing a baju kelawar. The woman behind the camera, recording him, is allegedly his older sister.
Some motorcyclists can be seen looking at the boy curiously, however they didn’t say anything and just went on with their business.
One person said: “The Abang who walked passed him was so confused, and even looked again to make sure he got the right gender!”
While another person commented: “Baju kelawar is fine. I once filled my motorcycle’s tank wearing kain batik.”
The video has since garnered over 948.3 thousand views, 105.4 thousand likes and 2,253 comments at the time of writing.
Not gonna lie, we’d do the same, too… Baju kelawar for life!
