Practice of victim blaming and body shaming must stop


Wanita MCA Selangor notes that Petaling Jaya district police chief Asst Comm Mohamad Fakhruddin Abdul Hamid has affirmed that the police are investigating a police officer who allegedly uttered words indicative of victim-blaming.

The episode apparently occurred when a cosplayer went to lodge a report attired in her costume play (cosplay) dress over an alleged stalking and harassment incident during an event called Anime Fest at Paradigm Mall.
