TRANSSEXUALS should carry with them medical certificates of sex-change operations to prove their status, said Deputy Home Affairs Minister Datuk Tan Chai Ho.
If the medical certificates stated their sex-change status, only female enforcement officers could carry out body checks on them, reported Sin Chew Daily.
He was commenting on the incident in which a transsexual claimed that three policemen ordered her to strip naked to see if she was physically a man or a woman.
“By showing the medical certificate, it will prevent any untoward incident like this and ease the job of enforcement officers when it comes to conducting body checks,” said Tan.
