KUALA LUMPUR: Several lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) NGOs have criticised the Terengganu Education Department over the Besut boot camp for "sissies", which is currently home to 66 schoolboys who have displayed "effeminate tendencies".

He said that although the department understands that "some people end up as Mak Nyah or homosexuals", "we will do our best to limit the number".
He said the move was prompted by the rising number of effeminate schoolboys in the state.
