Man arrested for molesting women at Ramadan bazaar in Temerloh

A 41-year-old man was arrested for molesting several women at the Lurah Semantan Ramadan bazaar in Termerloh yesterday.

District police chief Assistant Commissioner Mazlan Hassan said the incident was captured in a 21-second TikTok video posted by user @zackRazBundle, which later went viral on social media.

"So far, police have received reports from three women aged 23, 26, and 27, who are a trader, a cashier, and a sales assistant, respectively.

"The victims claimed the suspect molested them while they were walking to buy food to break their fast at the bazaar on March 6 and 10," Sinar Harian reported him saying.

Mazlan added that the suspect deliberately and aggressively bumped into the women while taking the opportunity to touch several parts of their bodies.

“The suspect was later apprehended by members of the public before policemen arrived and took him into custody at 5.30pm yesterday," he said.

The jobless man stated that he has not engaged in intimate relations for a long time due to being HIV positive for the past 13 years, as he was accused of the crime. – March 13, 2025
