The gruesome murder of a transgender woman has sparked widespread public outrage and calls for justice. Deputy Women, Community and Family Development Minister Hannah Yeoh said what happened to the victim in Klang on Wednesday night, was unacceptable. “I urge the police to expedite investigations and bring those responsible to justice,” she said in a statement posted on Facebook yesterday.  The woman was found unconscious in front of a hotel in Bukit Tinggi at about 7am, on Thursday.
