Cops on the lookout for 'topless' women in PD

 

The Negri Sembilan police are tracking down four women who had supposedly sunbathed topless on a beach in Port Dickson.

Sinchew Daily reported today that the police have confirmed receiving a report from the Port Dickson Municipal Council, and are investigating the incident under Section 294(a) of the Penal Code.

The law penalises “whoever, to the annoyance of others does any obscene act in any public place”, and is punishable by up to three month imprisonment, or a fine, or both.

Port Dickson Municipal Council (MPPD) chairperson Ab Khalid Mat said the incident is an isolated case, but MPPD viewed the matter seriously and was currently conducting an investigation, Bernama reports.

“We hope members of the public who saw incidents such as this one in any places in Port Dickson will immediately lodge a report to the authorities for further action,” he said when contacted today.

He said sunbathing topless in public places is an offence.

In the 2pm incident, the women, believed to be in their 20s and 30s, were sunbathing on a mat at the beach under the hot weather.

However a visitor, who was bathing there became aware of their behaviour and videotaped the incident, according to Bernama.
