The reason behind this wig play? The university’s convocation dress code, which stated that male students sporting long hair would be barred from the graduation event, according to SAYS.

While netizens found the videos amusing, they have sparked a heated debate over the perceived outdatedness of the university dress code.
One netizen shared his personal experience, noting, “Why didn’t I think of this during my studying years? I was forced to cut my hair, or risk getting fined RM50 if caught with long hair.”

Another user expressed concern, jesting, “Please don’t leak this, I’m sure there will be spot checks tomorrow where they will even pull our hair to verify.”
