It was reported that a Malaysian woman was left distraught after she caught her landlord in Singapore masturbating while holding onto her underwear.
According to Shin Min Daily, the woman rented a bedroom in a four-room flat with her boyfriend in June last year.
Her boyfriend told the Chinese daily that there was another Malaysian couple staying in the flat.
“When we moved in, the previous tenant told us that the female landlord likes to bring prospective tenants into the house when no one is home. So as a precaution, we installed a CCTV in our room last November.”
On May 17, the victim was at work when she received a notification on her phone that someone had entered her room.
When she checked the CCTV footage, she was shocked to see the stark naked male landlord in her bedroom. He rummaged through the room for Liu’s underwear and started masturbating.
“I was mortified and burst into tears, but I couldn’t turn the camera off because I had to record and collect the evidence.”
In the 15-minute video, the male landlord entered the couple’s room with a towel wrapped around his waist. He then picked up her underwear and gave it a whiff before removing his towel to pleasure himself.
Upon finishing the deed, he returned the underwear to its original spot.
Calling the police
The couple filed a police report on the same day and police officers turned up at the flat to investigate on May 18.
They seized the red underwear in the video, along with three pairs of underwear and another three items of clothing.
The victim said she threw away all her underwear after the incident, as she didn’t know if her landlord had touched them, and that she also re-washed all of her other clothes.
For illustration purpose only
Meanwhile, the boyfriend told Shin Min that the male landlord refused to apologise for his behaviour, and did not want to return the $1,900 (RM6,574) the couple paid as a deposit and rent.
They have since moved out of the flat and found accommodation elsewhere but despite this, the victim told Shin Min that she was deeply traumatised by the incident and had to take a break from work.
“I would start tearing up in the day, and then eventually break down. I was having nightmares almost every night.”
Although she has been seeing a psychologist, the nightmares happen frequently and she now refuses to rent from a male landlord.
We hope that the authorities manage to gather enough evidence to bring justice for the victim.
