Those involved have been arrested. One of the people involved (a British woman). Is apparently upset and afraid....

Now I don't understand why you'd go to another country and do something like this. You wouldn't do it next to a war memorial in London, US or some other western country. So why do it somewhere in the East.

Police say they have detained four Westerners suspected of posing naked on the mountain, considered sacred by locals, days before an earthquake killed 18 climbers

A British woman is among four Westerners detained by Malaysian police on suspicion of posing naked on Mount Kinabalu, a peak considered sacred by locals, just days before an earthquake killed 18 climbers.

Police obtained a court order to detain the foreigners for four days and could charge them for indecent behavior, said Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman, police commissioner in the Malaysian Borneo state of Sabah where the mountain is located. They could also be tried in a native court, a decision on which has yet to be taken by tribal authorities, officials said.

S'funny, I've been to malaysia a fair few times and not managed to cheese off the locals.

Mind you, the place is extremely corrupt in favour of malays and bribes on top of punishments like canings and death being very real so it's worth your while to not do anything stupid.

A fine/bribe of 10 buffalos sounds a bit rustic but doesn't surprise me.
