'Transvestite' performing at Suria Sabah told to report to police station - The Borneo Post

KOTA KINABALU: An individual, believed to be a transvestite, stole the limelight of a busking band at the Suria Sabah shopping mall for all the wrong reasons after a video clip of her performance went viral on social media.
Singing Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours”, the attention given was obviously not towards her singing skills but were drawn towards her choice of wardrobe; wearing a tight fitting top with a loose opening on the front, the singer’s breasts were visibly noticeable throughout the video, although she was obviously seen struggling to tuck them in.
The individual was initially mistaken to be part of the band, although she was seen still holding on to her handbag while singing.
The Suria Sabah shopping mall management had issued a statement yesterday clarifying that the individual was not part of the band and had gone out to perform without the mall’s authorization.
The actual band, it said, was a local band endorsed by the Sabah Cultural Board consisting of a father and his two sons and his brother only.
Attaching the statement with an official letter from the Cultural Board, the management explained that the said family had performed at the mall numerous times throughout Christmas and without any incident.
“It is very, very sad that the lady in the photo/video took advantage of the circumstances and popped in with such indecent attire and exhibition and created a negative image of the mall, the performing band, and LKNS.
“Our management strictly does not support such indecent act and exhibition,” it said in the statement issued yesterday, adding that the act lasted for about four minutes giving no time for the mall’s security team to notice and stop it.
The individual was also said to go by the name ‘Papai Ciecie’ on Facebook, whose profile page and uploaded photos clearly showed her ‘niche’ for exposing her voluptuous breasts.
Police had received a report on the matter, which stated that the incident took place at about 5pm last Saturday (January 16).
The report read that while the buskers were performing, three women came and one of them who was wearing ‘eye-popping’ attire suddenly took over the microphone from the buskers and asked if she could sing instead.
“According to eye witnesses, while singing, the woman’s breasts had popped out of her blouse and she quickly put them back in. The performance, including the obscene bit, lasting a total of about four minutes, had been recorded by patrons,” said city police chief ACP M. Chandra.
“The obscene act is seen as inappropriate especially considering that it took place in an open place like the shopping mall frequented by families and often with small children,” he added.
Police are looking for Randy Jubidi, who is believed to be the individual in the said video and photos which have gone viral and appeared in local and portal news to report ‘herself’ at the Kota Kinabalu or any nearest police station to help with the rest of the investigation of the case which was being investigated under Section 294 of the Penal Code for obscene performance.
