Siti Kamsiah said the arrest, along with the seizure of his phone and laptop, was done under Section 10 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017 and Section 292 of the Penal Code.

“As for the recordings he made with the children at his family’s house in Sungai Buloh between 2023 and 2025, he was charged for that in Klang today (June 19),” she added.

“As for the incidents in Kelantan, which happened last year and earlier this year at the suspect’s grandmother’s house, the case is still being reviewed by the Attorney Generalâs Chambers,” she said.
