KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — The Royal Selangor Club , said to be Malaysia’s oldest private club, has lifted a permanent ban on women entering its Long Bar after 139 years.
The decision was made during the club’s extraordinary general meeting yesterday, two members shared on their Facebook accounts. “The Long Bar at the Royal Selangor Club was off limits to women for 139 years purportedly because men ‘would drink and get very excited when they watched the games and they didn't want the ladies to see their exuberant behaviour, hence it was decided to ban women visitors from the Long Bar’. Ugh,” Lorela Chia said in her“Today, Dalvin Kaur created history as the first RSC Lady Member at the Long Bar, as members unanimously voted against the ‘No Women’ policy at an EGM today,” she added.
Another RSC member Ramesh Rajaratnam also said the vote was made with an overwhelming majority but noted there was “some dissent”.The Royal Selangor Club has lifted a permanent ban on women entering its Long Bar after 139 years. — Picture via Facebook/Lorela Chia, the no-women rule has been temporarily lifted on several occasions in the past such as on New Year's Day and the 1998 World Hash Run.
Nevertheless, until the amendment is approved by the Registrar of Societies, the Long Bar will still be inaccessible to women, the local daily reported last Friday.
