PETALING JAYA: A furniture factory worker was fined RM100, in default a month's jail, by the magistrate’s court here today for spying on a woman inside a toilet.
Magistrate Nurshahira Abdul Salim sentenced against Syaaban Shamil Khairi, 22, after he pleaded guilty to insulting the modesty of a 27-year-old woman at Wisma BU8, Damansara here at 3pm on June 9.
Earlier, Syabaan Shamil, who was unrepresented, told the court that he likes to spy on people and besides there was no sign saying it was a women's toilet.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Muhammad Hairuliqram Hairuddin asked for a deterrent sentence as a lesson to the accused.
According to the facts, the victim who was using one of the toilet stalls saw a hand on the floor. She quickly came out and saw a man in the next stall. He tried to chase her but failed to catch her.
The woman lodged a complaint at the management office and asked to see the closed-circuit television footage that captured a man trying to peep at her. - Bernama
