New leader for transgenders


Mourning their ‘amma’: Kanama (second from left) and other transgenders praying at the Sri Bautra Ratcha Jegan Matha Tample in Pandamaran, Port Klang.

PORT KLANG: In a ceremony steeped in tradition and colour, G. Kanama, 75, was ordained as the main elder of the local Indian transgender community over the weekend here.

Kanama replaces M. Asha Devi who succumbed to a heart attack early last month.
