Wangsa Maju District Police chief Supt Ashari Abu Samah said the police met with the organisers of the programme and the management of the premises at 2.30 pm at the Wangsa Maju District Police Headquarters (IPD), and the organisers agreed to call off the event.

"A stern warning has been given by the police to the organisers for the programme to be discontinued and cancelled.

"However, the police will continue to monitor the premises and will take strict action if there is a violation of the law," he said in a statement here today.

He said the promotion of the programme which had gone viral on various social media platforms had gathered negative reactions and criticism from the public.

According to Ashari, as of 4 pm, the police had received 60 reports objecting to the organisation of the programme featuring male waiters dressed in women's clothing.

He also advised the public not to conduct any activity that violated the law and threatened public order.
