SHAH ALAM: Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar has make it clear that any application to publicly gather in the buff will be rejected.

However, he did not think anyone would make the application.

"No one is stupid to request to be naked in public.

"No (permit) consideration will be given, but they are welcome to be naked in their room if they want," he said after receiving 1,200 ketamine drug test kits, courtesy of the Selangor Justice Peace Association, at the state police headquarters yesterday.

Khalid was asked about the proposed intention of Malaysian People's Reform Movement (Reformis) members to strip naked, as a last resort, to protest against a hike in rental rates for government low-cost houses under the People's Housing Scheme.

It had been reported earlier that the group was prepared to strip off outside the office of the Mentri Besar after a state executive council decision in July to raise rent for around 6,200 homes under the scheme from RM124 to RM250 a month.
