LOCAL rapper Zamaera is demanding an apology from a Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) official who allegedly recorded her without consent while she was getting a massage on Wednesday.
Zamaera, whose real name is Sharifah Zamaera Syed Zafilen Al Edros, also wants MBSJ to issue a statement on the standard operating procedure (SOP) for operations at such establishments, and that they do not condone the actions of its officer.
In a series of posts on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) yesterday (5 December), Zamaera detailed the alleged incident which, according to her, happened around 5:30 pm.
She said in one of her posts that she heard the curtain from her room open and when she turned around, she saw a man in sunglasses holding up his phone camera and taking a video of her.
“My masseuse kept on saying this is a female room and after saying that when I turned around again, the man was still filming me with his phone.
“I was lying on my tummy with my face on one side and only had a towel covering part of my body.
“I immediately covered myself in a towel and peeped out, only to find many men claiming to be MBSJ officers at the place.
“Some were in uniform and some were in plain clothes,” she said.
Why was there no female officer?
Zamaera also highlighted the absence of a female officer, asking why there wasn’t one to handle a case involving a woman if this was truly their SOP.
Moments later, after she had gotten dressed, Zamaera confronted the officers and asked for the perpetrator to come forward.
Although the officers did take videos of the premises, the recording of Zamaera was not found.
Zamaera said she was disgusted by the way the officers had conducted themselves and had filed a police report, as well as a complaint at MBSJ against its officers.
“I feel that my privacy has been violated.
“I do not feel safe as a woman,” she said. - December 6, 2024
