- Police probe into couple’s semi-naked walk in Ipoh
Police are investigating photographs of a half-naked couple crossing a road in Ipoh, after the images were shared on mobile messaging app WhatsApp.
Bernama reports that police sent a team to Jalan Sultan Yussuf in Ipoh, where a man wearing black pants without a shirt, was seen carrying a woman clad only in her underwear, while crossing a traffic junction near a CIMB Bank branch.
"An order has been issued to the station police chief and members that if they come across any immoral and indecent behaviour, they should advise or take action to stop it," Ipoh District Acting Police Chief Supt Ahmad Termizi Abdul Haq told Bernama.
Ahmad Termizi added that the couple had already left the scene when the police team arrived.
He said the couple's behaviour was being investigated under Section 41 of the Minor Offences Act 1955 for indecent behaviour.
Social media were abuzz with photos of the couple, said to be models. It is believed that they were accompanied by a crew and were in a wedding photography session.
This is the second such incident since the so-called “Penang Nude Sports Games 2014” was exposed in a viral online video last month, involving 15 Malaysians and foreigners who appeared naked in a beach in Teluk Bahang.
Police said they include seven Malaysians, four Singaporeans, two Myanmar nationals and one each from India and the Philippines. Police have also sought help help from Interpol to track the foreigners.
The event triggered a public outcry, and photographs of the participants were released. Two women have been arrested to facilitate investigation. – August 25, 2014.
