Naked Vietnamese woman takes a brisk walk
PETALING JAYA: Police picked up a naked Vietnamese woman who was seen walking around shops in SS3 here last Friday.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zani Che Din said that the woman, identified as Fun Hau, was picked up by police on patrol in the area.
“A patrol car got word of the naked woman at about 1.30pm on Friday. She was then picked up and sent to the Sungai Way police station, where a report was made.
“She was then sent to the University Malaya Medical Centre,” he said.
A 45-second video of the woman taking a walk around some shops on Jalan SS3/29, Taman Universiti went viral on WhatsApp recently.
The video shows the woman walking barefooted, as if she were exercising, beneath the hot sun as children in school uniform and cars pass by.
A group of men in a car workshop are heard exclaiming “she’s crazy” and “she walked a few rounds already” in Cantonese.
“She took off her clothes at the back alley and started walking around our workshop naked,” said mechanic Ray Leong, 25.
He said the woman did not appear to be sober and walked two or three times around the workshop.
“Many people tried to help her and we even gave her a blanket to cover herself,” he said.
Mechanic Phuah Jia Chia, 40, tried talking to the woman but said he had difficulty understanding what she was saying.
“She only spoke in Mandarin but it was incoherent. She said she was from Vietnam but I could not really understand her,” he said.
“When I asked where she was staying, she initially said Subang Jaya and then later said Shah Alam.
“When I stopped asking her questions, she would start talking to herself,” he said.
A customer at the workshop called the police who arrived to take the woman away.
