Malaysian rapper, Zamaera, took to her Instagram page to share how officers from the Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) had allegedly filmed her while she was in an unclothed state when they raided a massage parlour in SS14, Subang.
In her video, she shared that she had gone to the new massage parlour alone at around 5:30pm on Wednesday (December 4). After sharing about how she always opts for a female masseuse, she launched into the shocking story.
During her massage session in one of the small rooms in the parlour, she suddenly heard the loud voices of men coming from the lobby area of the outlet.
“They were being loud, they were being rowdy.”
Not knowing what was going on, as Zamaera apparently didn’t hear the group identify themselves as MBSJ officers, she decided to ignore the voices and carry on with her massage.
This is where things went south
While she faced the wall of the room, she sensed that someone had opened the curtain into her massage area, causing her to turn her head to see who it was.
It was then that Zamaera saw an MBSJ officer looking into the room while he had a phone in his hand pointed at her, allegedly filming in her direction.
“Essentially, the towel (used in massages to cover private areas) was already lower than my butt, you could definitely see my booty crack,” she explained.
Considering Zamaera’s unclothed state, the masseuse told the officer that there were only ladies there and Zameara, herself, scolded the officer for violating her privacy. The commotion caused the officer to flee from the entrance of the massage room.
Angered by the invasion of privacy, Zamaera used a towel to cover herself while she peeped out of the massage room to see what was going on.
“Who took the video?” she yelled to the group at the massage parlour’s lobby, where she saw 12 to 15 MBSJ officers, some in uniform and others in plain clothes.
After immediately putting on her clothes, she started recording the scene as she confronted the officers for violating her privacy and filming her in an unclothed state.
“I told them, ‘I’m Zamaera, I’m a Subang Jaya resident, I was in a massage when suddenly, someone among you filmed me, who was it? I was unclothed‘,”
“I was filming their faces, if you look closely at the footage, you can see all their faces and they didn’t want to say anything. They know that they’re guilty, they know that they’ve done something wrong and they didn’t want to say anything,” she said.
One of the officers suddenly spoke up, angry that Zamaera was accusing them of being inappropriate
“Who is doing inappropriate things? I didn’t know that obscene things were happening here,” he said, referring to women being in an unclothed state to receive massages.
She then questioned the SOPs of their raid, alleging that the officers didn’t identify themselves as being from MBSJ and did not announce themselves when one of them opened the curtain to her massage room.
“Do you think the SOP is for you to walk in unannounced, quietly open the curtains of female customers and film them without saying who you are? Is that your SOPs?” she asked, to which the officer said, “Yes, that’s our SOP from our boss.”
Not knowing where to go from there, she called her father who gave her advice
Having calmed down, Zamaera approached the same officer she had argued with and told him she wanted to settle things in a peaceful manner.
She asked that the officer who filmed her and other customers (there was another female customer, an elderly woman, who had also been filmed) reveal himself and apologise if they did not want her to make a police report or take this issue to court. But, no one stepped up.
Suddenly, a different officer approached Zamaera to show her one of the videos the officers had filmed, which she attempted to AirDrop to herself but couldn’t due to the officer’s phone setting while she watched it.
As Zamaera described it, the video showed the officers entering the massage parlour without identifying themselves and the elderly woman in an unclothed state in her massage room before it cut off abruptly.
“He said to me, ‘Hah, where? Did you see yourself being filmed?‘, and I said, ‘No, the video of me is not here.‘,” she explained.
They went back and forth about this, and Zamaera attempted to record the video that was playing on the officer’s phone, but the officer prevented it.
The officers allegedly tried to stop her from leaving
Unhappy with how things were going, Zamaera said she was going to make a police report and attempted to leave but was stopped by the officers.
One of the officers asked for her IC to record it, which once again escalated things.
Zamaera pointed out to the officer that she didn’t have to provide them with her IC as they were not police officers.
“We can prosecute you for not letting us do our jobs,” the officer responded.
She then told them that if they wanted to record her IC, they could follow her to the nearby police station and do it there.
“I literally just walked. I said ‘I’m going to make a police report right now, you can follow me if you want to‘, and none of them stopped me,” she said.
A police report was lodged
She then went to the SS17 police station to make a report. After doing so, she immediately made her way to the Subang Jaya District Police Station Headquarters for a follow-up as instructed by the SS17 police officers.
Zamaera shared that she felt validated and relieved as the police officers at the SS17 station were understanding and informed her that what the MBSJ officers did was wrong.
However, one officer at the Subang Jaya District Police Station Headquarters did question whether any ‘private parts’ were filmed.
She explained that the towel covering her buttocks had moved during the massage, hence a portion of her buttocks would be seen in the video. But, the officer ultimately shared his belief that nothing wrong happened as “no private parts were filmed”.
“It’s unethical, it’s disgusting. What if it was your own wife, what if it was your own daughter? Even if it was your sons or your husbands? Would you allow something like this to happen?”
Thankfully, the other police officers there still recorded her statement and accepted her report on this matter.
Zamaera ended her video by sharing that the police officers told her to visit MBSJ, which she did.
The MBSJ officer she spoke to at the city council allegedly acknowledged that what happened to her was wrong and asked her to come back again to meet their higher-ups, which she did this morning (December 6).
She also shared what she wants MBSJ to do to right this wrong.
“I want an issued statement from MBSJ stating that there was misconduct from their officers during this operation, that it was wrong for them to do so. I want the officers in charge, or the officers who spoke to me to apologise for misusing their power, misusing their position, and their behaviour should not be condoned,” she said.
She also wants MBSJ to list out what their SOPs are during such operations.
