Condom-attached panties ‘growing’ on trees

KOTA KINABALU: Pictures of over two dozen condom-attached panties apparently hung up on trees along a trekking trail in Penampang got the public’s knickers in a twist.

The mysterious find was posted by hikers on Facebook, who claimed that they spotted the panties but no one around, though there was a small hut nearby.

According to a Facebook page, Penampang Bulletin, there were also bras put up there.

Penampang district officer Luvita Koisun said enforcement personnel checked on the area after receiving news about the incident on Thursday.

“They saw the panties but could not find anyone there and even those living nearby seemed to have no clue about them,” she said, adding that she herself had not seen the assorted underwear neatly strung up amongst the trees.

She also said the district office was trying to find out the owner of the private land in order to assist police in investigation.

District police chief Deputy Supt Rosley Hobden said they did not see anything at the site when they went over to inspect.

“There have been no reports of the said findings as yet,” he added.
