A former employee of a religious department was found dead last month after falling from the 12th floor of the Sentul Utama condominium. Tongues started wagging after he was found wearing a yellow bra and red panties. Just what drives a man to put on women's undies? ELIZABETH ZACHARIAH and FARHANA AB RAHMAN look for answers in the final instalment in a two-part series on the transsexual community.

LORONG Gopeng, off Jalan Nanas in Klang is where about 100 Mak Nyah crowd almost every night waiting for customers.

They are sex workers, mostly forced into the trade because of difficulties in obtaining jobs and rejection from their families.
