Cops probing claims of hidden camera in fitting room at KL mall

KUALA LUMPUR: Police are investigating claims of a hidden camera in the fitting room of a shopping mall here after a video clip went viral.

Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Noor Dellhan Yahaya said they received a report on the matter on Monday (Jan 9) afternoon.

"An 11sec video from the hidden camera was uploaded on Twitter," he said in a statement on Wednesday (Jan 11). (The tweet appears to have since been deleted.)

He said the police report was lodged by the security manager of an outlet on Jalan Imbi.

"We sent our personnel there to investigate and could not find the camera. We believe it happened at another location," he said.

ACP Noor Dellhan said the case has been classified under Section 509 of the Penal Code for intentionally insulting the modesty of any woman by word, through sound, gesture or object.

Those with information on the case are urged to contact Insp Muhammad Fikri Abdul Manan at 013-414 9917 or the City Police Hotline at 03-2115 9999.
