Probably the most shocking thing to have ever happened in a Malaysian court of law

On 15th Feb 2007, Kuppan Muniandy, 50 became the first Malaysian to expose himself in the middle of court proceedings when he suddenly dropped his trousers in full view of everyone present at a magistrate’s court in Kuala Lumpur.

Hailing from Ipoh, he was brought to court to be charged with robbing salesman Johan Razali Hang Jebat, 18 of a mobile phone worth RM200 in January. While the charge was being read, the unrepresented Kuppan suddenly dropped his trousers.

This so shocked magistrate Tasnim Abu Bakar that she adjourned the case. Upon resumption of the proceedings, she ordered Kuppan to undergo psychiatric evaluation.
