MELAKA – A male social media influencer who dressed and behaved like a woman was detained by the Melaka Islamic Religious Department (Jaim) while doing a live broadcast on TikTok in Banda Hilir, here, early Monday morning.
Jaim director Datuk Md Azhan Samat said the 25-year-old man was arrested by the department's enforcement officers at about 1.30am following public complaints.
He said the man was wearing a purple blouse, a bun-styled wig, women's shoes and earrings during the inspection.
"The items were seized by the religious enforcement officers and will be used as evidence in the case," he said in a statement.
He added that the man was brought to Jaim's office for documentation process and further investigation.
Jaim conducted the raid following public complaints claiming that the man's actions were promoting and normalising the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community culture in the country, which made many people uncomfortable.
Azhan reminded Muslims not to adopt LGBT lifestyles as it is prohibited in Islam and may offend the sensitivities of Malaysians.
"This act is also against the law, which does not support any form of LGBT practices in Malaysia.
"The case is being investigated under Section 72 of the Syariah Offences Enactment (Melaka State) 1991 (which pertains to the offence of a man posing as a woman in a public place)," he said.
Those found guilty of the offence are liable to a fine of up to RM1,000, a jail term of up to six months or both.

Six arrested over controversial Selangor ‘eHati' event as JAIS probes false doctrine, insult to Islam
SHAH ALAM, July 25 — The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) has detained six individuals in connection with the controversial eHati marriage motivation programme held from Sept 27–30 last year at a convention centre here. JAIS director Datuk Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad said the suspects, two men and four women aged between 26 and 47, were picked up in Shah Alam on July 18. He said investigations were opened under Sections 7 (false doctrine), 8 (false claims), 10 (insulting Islam) and 16 (unauthorised religious publications) of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995. 'The investigation was launched following suspicions that a ritual or ceremony contrary to Islamic teachings was held during the programme,' he said in a statement yesterday. To date, JAIS has recorded statements from 38 witnesses and identified 282 participants whose statements will also be taken. Three books and three VCDs seized from the event have been submitted to the Selangor Mufti Department for review. He said a comprehensive investigation into the programme's full content and module is ongoing, and findings will be submitted to the Selangor Syariah Prosecution Department for further action. On July 16, Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan confirmed reports of nude scenes involving four women during a segment called 'Queens Night'. That same day, six individuals, including the husband-and-wife founders of the programme and their child, were remanded for three days to assist in a separate investigation into indecent behaviour and minor offences. — Bernama
