Selangor police chief Arjunaidi Mohamed said six of the 11 were remanded, including one released on bail to undergo surgery. Five other witnesses were guests.

He said the police were tracking down two more suspects believed to be involved in the case.

“Currently, we have detained the organisers and identified the dancers involved. In addition, the police have identified the motive behind the event, which was to attract public attention,” he said.

A video clip of a group of transwomen engaged in a half-naked dance and a fireworks display at an Aidilfitri open house at I-City in Shah Alam on May 27 went viral, which led to a public outcry.
