TikToker arrested for cross-dressing during livestream
MELAKA: A TikTok personality known online as "Melinda B" was arrested while livestreaming early Monday morning for allegedly cross-dressing. In a statement, Melaka Islamic Religious Department (Jaim) director Datuk Md Azhan Sama said enforcement officers moved in around 1.30am following a public complaint and found the man— clad in a purple blouse, women's shoes, earrings and a hair bun wig — still livestreaming on the platform. Azhan said the man, known for cross-dressing content, had been actively hosting live sessions on social media and appearing in public spaces around Melaka city in 2025, drawing public concern for allegedly promoting and normalising lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) culture. He said the arrest was made under Section 72 of the Syariah Offences Enactment (Melaka) 1991, which prohibits men from imitating the appearance or mannerisms of women in public.
