Pengkid is a term used to refer to a female, whose physical and behavioural appearances resemble those of a male. Her sexual orientation is also towards other females; in other words, preferring same-sex partners. This group of people (pengkid) is becoming more visible in society and lately they have been associated with a number of social concerns such as abduction, drugs, and sexually related problems. With the awareness that the problems associated with pengkid are now becoming a serious social disease, an empirical study is needed to understand pengkid and the public’s perception towards them. This study was conducted to know the perception of the public towards pengkid, and to come up with indicators for the purpose of identifying pengkid.
