Earlier this month there was a row when a journalist discovered that the CCTV camera was zooming in on the thigs of reporter Melissa Darlyne Chow. It happened at the municipal council of the city of Penang, reports the Malaysian paper The Star. It was again another incident of voyeurism where females became victim of peeping in Malaysia.
In August last when the magazine Easy Finder published photos of Hong Kong star Gillian Chung which were taken illegally, it had sparked a public outrage. The pictures were taken when she was changing dresses while performing at a concert in Genting.
In October last year a short video footage was circulated where a nude woman was shown while doing knee-ups at a police station. The video was clandestinely shot by a handphone. It provoked strong protest from ethnic Chinese in Malaysia and from mainland China as the lady peeped was erroneously taken as a Chinese national.
In the case of reporter Chow the political leader of the orthodox islamic PAS party further fueled the anger by his remark that females who were dressed “too sexy” were to blame themselves as their attire might provoke sexual harassment.
