KUALA LUMPUR – Police detained 11 more witnesses to facilitate investigations into an Aidilfitri open house involving a group of trans women dancing half-naked.

Selangor police chief Datuk Arjunaidi Mohamed said six of them have been remanded, including one on bail to undergo surgery, while five other witnesses were guests.

He said police were tracking down two more suspects believed to be involved in the case.

“Currently, we have detained the organisers and identified the dancers involved.

“In addition, police have identified the motive behind the event, which was to attract public attention,” he said after officiating the 2022 Selangor Police Chief Hockey Cup Championship final at Bukit Jalil National Hockey Stadium here today.

A video of a group of trans women engaged in a half-naked dance and a fireworks display at an Aidilfitri open house at a unit in I-City on May 27 went viral, which led to a public outcry. – Bernama, June 3, 2022
