KUANTAN: Bentong MP Young Syefura Othman (pic) has lodged police reports at the Bentong district police headquarters against an individual and a social media influencer for alleged scamming and sexual harassment respectively.
Young Syefura said the first report was about a scam involving an Instagram message, where an individual claimed to be her representative for an income-generating programme.
“The second report relates to a social media influencer’s video containing sexist and lewd statements on TikTok and Instagram.
“The video went viral and was shared many times. The influencer uttered several vulgar words and his body language made me very uncomfortable.
“I am open to debate on my views and political ideologies.
“We all have a right to our opinions, but this influencer attacked me personally and tarnished my reputation and status as a woman and an MP,” she said in a statement yesterday.
“I leave it to the police to investigate both cases and hope they will take stern action against all scammers and sexual harassment perpetrators in the country,” she added. — Bernama
