JUST IN: PDRM and JAWI raided a Halloween event at REXKL on Saturday (October 29) night.

Several drag queens and transgender people are reported to have been detained by Jawi for investigations.

Waking up to only read about heartbreaking raid by JAWI and @PDRMsia on a private event in #REXKL last night. Kalau cross-dress tak boleh I don’t see you guys crack down Maharaja Lawak Mega for cross dessing just to be funny!

I convinced my friends go to REXKL (but I couldn’t go) only to find out the event got raided?? I feel so bad for them and I’m pissed. It’s obviously a clear target to the community.

When i read all the tweets about LGBTQ – REXKL issue, all i can say that social media makes it worst n we dont know how to say things with manner anymore. All bad words are coming mostly from everyone. Drag queens n trans are people guys, even we treat cats with full of love ❤️

RexKL was one of the first theatres in Malaysia, now a historical cultural social space for creatives and the arts.

The event was private. It was legal. They had permits. They weren't bothering anyone.

PDRM and JAWI had NO FUCKING RIGHT to raid it and ARREST INNOCENT PEOPLE.
