Captured on CCTV recording a video of optician’s underskirt.
An aide to a federal deputy minister is the subject of a sexual harassment complaint by an optician in Solaris Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur, who said he had secretly recorded a video of her underskirt when she was busy conducting an eye test on his boss.
It was reported that the optician in her 30s was treating Deputy Home Minister Azis Jamman last Thursday morning when she noticed that a man who was seated behind her behaving suspiciously.
“When I turned to face the screen beside me, I noticed a man recording something on a mobile phone. After viewing the CCTV recording, I discovered that the man had recorded a video from below my skirt,” the optician said in her police report.
A CCTV recording of the incident showed the man placing his mobile phone strategically near the optician’s skirt as she was checking the eyesight of Azis.
Azis confirmed the incident, adding that the officer had since been sacked.
“I cannot tolerate such behaviour. I am so shocked to see that video,” he said.
He said he had gone to the optician accompanied by his wife and aide.
On his request, Azis said his aide followed him to the consultation room.
“I brought my aide just in case because I did not want to be alone with another woman. I wanted my aide to be a witness, that is all,” he said.
But his “witness” was up to no good, and Azis said he confronted him later after viewing the CCTV recording.
“I have sacked him with immediate effect,” he added.
