NIBONG TEBAL, Aug 15 — The group behind the "Penang Nude Sports Games" at the National Park here in May had organised another nudist event at a durian orchard on the next day, said Penang police chief Datuk Wira Abdul Rahim Hanafi.
Aside from the second session at a homestay in Balik Pulau, he said group had also travelled to Pattaya, Thailand for another nude event.
"Nine out of the 18 people who participated in the nude sports games took part in the second event at the durian orchard," he said at a press conference here.
A video clip of the first event, where about 18 people were filmed participating in events like body painting and outdoor activities on a secluded beach in the nude at the Penang National Park, went viral recently leading to a huge uproar.
The event is believed to be held on May 31 this year at a secluded beach in Teluk Kampi at the park in Teluk Bahang here.
