00:00This time I turned around again fully and this guy was full on filming me with a phone camera

00:07and I couldn't make his face because he was wearing glasses.

00:09So can you imagine like the curtain, they opened it like just this much, had their face there

00:14and had the phone camera with the glasses so I'm covering the bottom half of his face anyway

00:20and like filming me while I'm like half naked.

00:30Okay, this is me, Zamira, I'm a resident of SS14, y'all know who I am.

00:47These guys all came to check and then there was this one guy who opened the...

00:57He's right here and take video, so which one of you is taking video?

01:01Who's taking video?

01:03Who wants to admit?

01:05I'm gonna post this up online, I'm on social, I'm posted up on all the news channels.

01:12Y'all better admit now, who's taking video?

01:18Why are you guys quiet now?

01:20It was a very traumatic experience and I really was trying to handle the situation quite calmly

01:30but I think anytime I'm in a situation where it has to do with a lot of guys against one woman

01:39trying to speak up for herself, it always becomes very emotional I think for me.

01:45So if you've seen a part of the video on my IG story, you can see that I was also kind of a little bit shaky.

01:52Your job is to, what, take care of people, right?

02:10And if you look closely in the footage, you can see all of their faces.

02:14They don't want to say anything, they know that they're guilty, they know that they've done something wrong.

02:19And they don't want to say anything.

02:21And I'm so upset, and I'm trying to calm myself down from screaming

02:25because I tend to get really, really riled up about these kinds of things.

02:29And I said to them in the continuation of the video,

02:34you guys are supposed to be, what, protecting people or doing your job

02:37but in the end you're doing things and that's no-no, you know, which is like disgusting.

02:41And when I said that, there was this one officer on the left of me,

02:46he was wearing glasses.

02:48I don't remember his name, but he was the one who I was communicating with most of the time.

02:52He was wearing glasses and he had his MBSJ baju on but tak ada nametag.

02:57And he said,

02:58siapa yang buat benda-benda tak senonoh?

03:01kat sini buat apa?

03:02And I was like, apa kat sini buat apa?

03:04saya datang sini nak buat massage.

03:06And he said, ah ya, tapi kat sini saya tak tahu kalau ada benda-benda yang lucah ke apa,

03:10yang menjadi benda yang tak senonoh.

03:13And I was like, okay, if that's, you actually want to do an operation,

03:17do you think the SOP is for you to walk in unannounced,

03:20quietly, open the curtains of other female,

03:24um, uh, patients,

03:26patience pula,

03:27but I'm not,

03:28patience, patience,

03:29sorry, my mouth is going off somewhere else.

03:31Um,

03:33apa, pelanggan,

03:34oh, sorry, sorry,

03:35otak tengah jam,

03:36banyak sangat cakap.

03:37So, yeah, you film it,

03:40So, yeah, you're filming like all these female punya pelanggan,

03:43and then without even saying who you are,

03:45that's part of your SOP.

03:46I cakap, ni SOP korang, ni SOP korang.

03:48And he was like, ya, ni SOP kita daripada bos.

03:50And I was like,

03:51bos korang siapa?

03:53Bos korang siapa?

03:54No, seriously, tell me.

04:03I was just so,

04:05I just felt so violated.

04:07You know what I mean?

04:08Like, I hate,

04:09I hate to feel as a woman that I can't feel safe

04:12in my own space or area that I live in.

04:15You know, as you know,

04:16as you guys know,

04:17I've already moved to another place.

04:19I come back,

04:20I want to feel safe in my community.

04:21I want to feel like I'm being protected.

04:23I want to feel like I can use my voice that,

04:26you know, I'm being,

04:27I'm being listened to.

04:28I'm not being gaslit.

04:29So, anyway, I did a little bit of a cry.

04:31I did a bit of a cry.

04:32I was outside, I did a bit of a cry.

04:34Calming myself down.

04:35I went in, I told them my story.

04:37The, nasib baik,

04:38the two kakak police women

04:40and even the abang policeman tu,

04:42they even, you know,

04:44agreed to me that that was wrong.

04:45So, it validated my,

04:47it validated my experience as well

04:50and my feelings and my emotions

04:51and then that helped a lot.

04:52I will be meeting the director tomorrow

04:54and we will be seeing what,

04:56you know, what we can do about this.

04:58But for me,

04:59what I want is very, very clear.

05:01I want an issued statement from MBSJ,

05:04from the city council,

05:05stating that,

05:06stating that the misconduct of their officers

05:11has been done through this operation

05:13and it was wrong for them to do so

05:15and I want the officer in charge

05:18or the officer who spoke mostly to me

05:20to say that they are,

05:22they apologize for misusing their power,

05:24misusing their position

05:26and, you know, this kind of,

05:28this kind of attitude and behavior

05:30should never be condoned.

05:32Should never be condoned

05:33and should not be repeated

05:34and it was wrong for them to do so

05:36and we will make sure that

05:39our people can entrust us again

05:40and make people feel safe through these operations

05:43and then also I want MBSJ to list down

05:45the actual SOP of what they have to do

05:48in cases, in these kinds of cases.
