KUALA LUMPUR: A woman claims she has been harassed by a "stalker" for three years and wishes that her ordeal will stop.
The 27-year-old, who only wanted to be known as Loh, said she met the man known as "Tong" in 2020 when she was live-streaming videos to sell products.
"He used to be very supportive and came online every time I went live.
"However, things changed in 2021 when I stopped live-streaming and got a proper job," she said at a press conference at Wisma MCA here on Friday (May 10).
Loh, who is from Klang, said she switched her social media accounts to private, which "angered" Tong.
"He could not see me online any more, and he began stalking me, my friends and my family.
"He sent messages and took screenshots of our pictures and profiles.
"Then, I decided to delete all my social media accounts," she said.
However, Loh resumed live-streaming in 2022 to supplement her income.
She claimed that Tong created multiple fake accounts on social media and began spreading her personal details and pictures.
"He stalked all my friends, spread lies and left derogatory messages," she said.
In his latest messages, Loh claimed Tong had asked her if she had an insurance policy.
"He also asked if I had bought a coffin and if I was afraid of dying.
"He continued to harass me online, spreading malicious comments claiming I was a cheat and a scammer," she said.
She also claimed that Tong even made over a hundred five-sen-transfers to her ewallet.
Loh said she lodged three police reports between 2021 and 2024.
MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong said he had received similar complaints about the same perpetrator from at least 10 different victims.
"We managed to trace him since the victims provided us with information," he said, urging other victims to come forward.
"Don't suffer in silence. Such despicable behaviour must not be condoned," he said.
Wanita MCA deputy chairman Tee Hooi Ling advised women not to share their personal data with anyone online, especially those they barely know.
