Thaipusam Spraying Group

A Facebook group, Thaipusam Spraying Group, with 140 members, threatened to spray paint on Hindu women dressed “inappropriately’ during the Hindu festival of Thaipusam. The police warned that any such action would be considered illegal. The anonymous FB group is part of a growing trend of moral policing by so-called citizen groups.
