Youtuber Arrested for Prank Against Transwomen 📦

Last week, Ferdian Paleka uploaded a video in which he and a friend claimed to be handing out instant noodle boxes to people whom they called “bencong,” an Indonesian slur for transgender women. The boxes actually contained bricks, rotten vegetables, and garbage. The video gained national notoriety and several victims of the prank reported Paleka and his friends to the police. Reportedly, Paleka and his cohorts face up to 12 years in prison and a potential $804,000 fine.
