Police looking for transvestite who attacks women at random
By ANDREW SAGAYAM
KUALA LUMPUR: Police are investigating claims that a transvestite has been randomly assaulting women in the city’s Golden Triangle area since late last month.
In the latest incident at about 9am last Saturday, a 37-year-old lawyer was punched on her left cheek and repeatedly kicked by the transvestite, known as Chulan Pondan, who is in his 30s.
The lawyer, Goh Siu Lin, when contacted, said she was walking towards the Weld supermarket on Jalan Raja Chulan when the transvestite approached from the opposite side of the road.
“He came right in front of me and punched me. I fell, and he kicked my buttocks and lower back. He only stopped when two motorcyclists came to my aid and chased him away.
“I suffered inflammation of my lower spine due to the attack. If not for the passers-by, I could have been paralysed.
“It was an unprovoked attack, and what’s even more frightening is that several other women had also suffered the same fate.”
Goh said she met six other victims who claimed to have been attacked by the transvestite.
“The man is dangerous. None of us provoked him. He can’t go around hurting people for no reason. I want the police to take action.”
Goh described the transvestite as tall, tanned, well built, with long hair, and well groomed.
Dang Wangi district police chief ACP Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman said police had recorded a statement from Goh.
He said that police would send the transvestite for psychiatric evaluation once they pick him up.
