BACHOK, July 26 (Bernama) -- Sixteen transsexuals were busted by the Kelantan Islamic Religious Affair Department Friday for participating in a transsexual beauty pageant at a resort near Bachok.
Its chief assistant director, Abdul Aziz Mohd Nor, said Saturday the group, in their 20s and 30s, was detained at about 10 last night while posing in woman's dresses.
"Three of them managed to get away by diving into a nearby river while the rest were arrested and taken to department's office in Kota Baharu for further action," he told Bernama today.
Abdul Aziz said the immoral activities of the transsexuals, including dressing up like women, were contradictory to Islamic practices.
They could be fined up to RM3,000 ($922.50 USD) or jail if convicted, he added.
