GEORGE TOWN: Police have confirmed receiving a report from a woman who discovered a tiny camera hidden in a humidifier in her homestay bathroom.

Timur Laut police chief ACP Razlam Ab Hamid said an investigation paper had been opened under Section 509 of the Penal Code for insulting the modesty of a person.

He said the 24-year-old local woman had checked in to the homestay with three of her friends on Feb 5.
