KUALA TERENGGANU, MALAYSIA: Under-wear off - that is one of the conditions for guys who want to attend a mega sex party on New Year's Eve that is scheduled to be held in Johor Baru.

The second condition is that girls must wear only G-string panties and be prepared to take them off after midnight to usher in the new year.

It is learnt that invitations enclosed in New Year greeting cards are being distributed here. Upon opening the greeting card, there is a note with this statement: "Are you below 40? If you are, then browse this web address and you won't regret it."

On the website are three handphone numbers for those who want to attend the sex party to contact. The Star managed to get in touch with one of the contact persons and the woman who answered the call identified herself as Ida.

She claimed to be the organiser of the sex party and she expected 350 revellers to attend the event.

Ida then demanded a deposit of RM250 as entrance fee for each participant and the amount had to be banked into her account number.

"Are you a male? Don't worry, we have 200-over women there for you, including those from Batam (Indonesia) but you must be prepared to go naked, you know," she said. Ida said there were also several female students from colleges in Kuala Lumpur and Malacca who had confirmed their attendance.

"We need more males for the party. We are short of men. Don't worry about partners, there will be plenty of them on that night," she said. When asked about the venue of the party, Ida replied, "You bank in RM100 first, we will send all the details. The balance must be deposited before we confirm your name.

"We will prepare the liquor and accommodation but you have to pay separately for these, but they will cost only a nominal sum," she said.

Ida also divulged that the party would be held at a secluded area fronting the beach and gave an assurance that there would be scouts stationed at all entry points to the venue to alert the revellers in case there is a raid.

"The party will go on all night long, and you are free to do whatever you wish to do," she said. Ida also recommended that guys should bring along condoms.

"With HIV on the increase, the organiser can't guarantee it will be AIDS-free, so it's better to be safe," she laughed. However, Ida suspected something amiss when more questions were posed to her.

"Are you from Special Branch?" she asked, before ending the call.

Attempts to contact the other numbers were futile.

In JOHOR BARU, Johor CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Amer Awal urged the public not to be involved in the party and said the organisers could be con men.

"Why would they demand money before they reveal the location? In the end, they will probably just run away with the money.

"We will be investigating the matter. The police will also inform the state religious department and the local council to be on the watch-out for any suspicious activities," he said. He said those with information could contact the nearest police station or the police hotline at 07-221 2999. --THE STAR
