KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA: Some homosexuals are alleged to be using public toilets in shopping centres in Kuala Lumpur to engage in unnatural sexual acts, Harian Metro reported.

The daily quoted a guard at a shopping centre in Bukit Bintang, Mohd Hamdan Zainuddin, 44, as saying that cleaners and payment collectors outside the toilets had discovered the homosexuals' activities.

"Cleaners, who felt that something was amiss when they saw homosexual couples acting suspiciously by staying in the toilets for too long, lodged reports with the security guards," he said.

He added that the guards would then carry out investigations before warning homosexual couples caught in the act.

"We have our own ways to prove the offence besides having several security officers who are experts in handling these sort of cases."

Mohd Hamdan said that normally the homosexuals would be given a verbal warning to not repeat their offence. Their particulars would also be recorded.

The daily also reported that a worker with a transportation company had admitted being caught in the act with another homosexual, who is a bank executive. The duo were caught by security guards at a staircase of a shopping complex in Jalan Pasar.

The 22-year-old suspect from Sungai Jelok, Kajang, said he did not realise his acts were captured on CCTV.

He said he started 'becoming' a homosexual when he was 15, when he was studying in a residential school in Kajang.
