Police arrested a 23-year-old local man on suspicion of spying on a woman in the women’s restroom in a Johor shopping mall.

According to the Chief of Seri Alam District Police, Superintendent Mohd Sohaimi Ishak, the incident occurred yesterday (22 October) at around 11 am at Kipmart Masai Shopping Mall, Taman Bukit Dahlia, Pasir Gudang, Johor.

The police detained the man with help from the public who apprehended him first. A background check revealed that he doesn’t have a prior criminal record.

Currently, the case is being investigated under Section 377D of the Penal Code, and if found guilty, the offender could face imprisonment of up to two years. The suspect will be remanded under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code at the Johor Bahru Court today (23 October), for further investigation.

Tudung Wearing Peeping Tom caught for peeping in the women’s toilet

Previously, a video of the Peeping Tom went viral on social media, showing how the man was caught and confessed to doing the crude act.

In the 2-minute video, the peeper was held by another man to prevent him from escaping. A woman’s voice was heard scolding him and asking for his phone password to check the evidence. The man begged to be let go due to shame.

“Come on kak, that’s enough. It’s embarrassing,” he begged.

Another source allegedly stated that the phone had over 40 videos of similar incidents.

Besides that, another man also demanded the peeper to show his shoes and wore the pink tudung back to illustrate his disguise. It appeared that the man was even wearing female shoes and had a henna-painted toenail.

The peeper then confessed that he didn’t know what was wrong with him. He revealed that he was already married and the henna was in fact, painted by his wife.

I don’t know why my brain is like this today. I’m so embarrassed.

Netizens condemn his disgusting act

A lot of people chimed in the comment section of the viral video and expressed their thoughts.

Without a doubt, most of them blamed him for the indecent act.

One user said, “If marriage isn’t a solution for you, then what you need is self-control.”

Others sympathized with his wife, saying she must be ashamed of his actions.

A previous similar incident in Indonesia

In August, a similar case was reported in Indonesia where a man dressed in a black abaya, complete with a hijab and niqab (a fabric that covers the face and forehead, except for the eyes) was peeping on a woman.

According to the victim, the man followed her from the toilet to the surau and that’s when she suspected something was wrong. She then asked help from authorities and they revealed that he was indeed a man after removing his disguise.
