Bernama reports that Malaysia is considering legalising transvestites' activities (whatever it means). The idea to legalise their activities as proposed by MINIster in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor is being studied by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall and they have agreed in principle, he said. Lorong Haji Taib in Kuala Lumpur is well known for transvestites for the past 40 years. This area falls under the care of the Bukit Bintang MP. Bukit Bintang MCA Chief Datuk Dr Lee Chong Meng said that transvestites' activities should be legalised and regulated to create a healthy entertainment industry. According to him, they are found in New York and in Bangkok too. Datuk Dr Lee suggested monitoring and legalising these activities to create an entertainment industry. He envisaged the setting up of cafes, bistros, nightclubs in designated areas to highlight transvestites' shows. This will also generate revenue and reduce social ills like rapes, robberies and killings! What's the connection? Is this the soft alternative to what has been proposed recently on how rapists should be handled, see here and here. Lorong Haji Taib, once notorious for drug addicts has now been cleared of the menace, but the unmonitored transvestites are creating social problems in the area and legalising them would be an apt solution, said the Bernama report. Now what will our Green Party have to say to this. What is the view of muslim and nonmuslim Malaysians on this solution to a social problem facing the nation? Is the new PM aware of this solution? Looks like Datuk Lee is starting his campaign for Bukit Bintang early. So MP Fong had better start her home work. The Star, MCA owned had only a tiny column regarding this. But the MMail seems to have taken this to town, interviewing the men and ladies in the street regarding this issue :: under the headline, ‘Let them entertain publicly’. MMail reported that Datuk Lee is thinking of turning Lorong Haji Taib into a local versi of Pattaya, with shows and other entertainment! Will this be allowed in an Islamic country?
