The man and woman who allegedly engaged in an indecent act at a Malaysian cemetery in Penang have been arrested and remanded for three days until Thursday.

Penang police chief Commissioner Azizee Ismail said the couple, in their 30s and 50s, were picked up on Monday night.

“We detained the couple in the George Town area. Initial checks found that they are not husband and wife,” he told the media on Tuesday before the couple was produced in court for a remand order.

Azizee said the case is being investigated under Section 294 of the Penal Code for public nuisance and indecency, together with Section 509 for insulting modesty.

The incident came into the public eye after a 38-second viral video showed a man standing naked with his back to the camera while a partially undressed woman sitting on a tombstone.

The woman recording the scene confronted the couple, claiming they had been spotted engaging in similar behaviour there before.
