On Friday (Feb 18), police arrested two cross-dressing local men for allegedly taking lewd photos in front of Laman Mahkota, Istana Bukit Serene in Johor.
Johor police chief Comm Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat said the two were apprehended at Taman Nusa Bestari between 12.30pm and 1.30pm.

He said the case is being investigated under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code and Section 223 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
