TikTok&rsquo;s tumultuous journey in the U.S. took another dramatic turn as the popular video-sharing app began restoring its services after a short shutdown. The disruption, which left users unable to access the platform, came as a federal ban on TikTok was set to take effect due to national security concerns surrounding its Chinese parent company, ByteDance.
In a message to its users, TikTok announced, &ldquo;As a result of President Trump&rsquo;s efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!&rdquo; The platform credited the president-elect for providing the necessary clarity to allow service providers to resume operations without fear of penalties.

This announcement followed an earlier statement where TikTok thanked Trump for his support, which allowed them to serve over 170 million users and assist 7 million small businesses in the U.S.
Trump&rsquo;s Intervention and a Shift in Strategy
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/eba84f44c2bf7e78d078a6a60600cc93b55ef25c467507784bfc75b98e2bd4ea" />
President-elect Trump played a pivotal role in TikTok&rsquo;s revival. Ahead of his inauguration, he pledged to extend the timeline for TikTok to restructure its ownership, potentially allowing for a joint venture where the U.S. would hold a 50% stake. Trump framed this as a necessary step to protect American interests while ensuring the app remained available to its users.
This marks a stark contrast to Trump&rsquo;s earlier stance. In 2020, he sought to ban TikTok outright, citing concerns about ByteDance sharing American user data with the Chinese government. However, in recent months, Trump has softened his tone, acknowledging TikTok&rsquo;s role in engaging younger audiences, particularly during his re-election campaign.
TikTok&rsquo;s public expressions of gratitude towards Trump are seen as a strategic pivot to win favour with the administration. CEO Shou Zi Chew&rsquo;s plans to attend Trump&rsquo;s inauguration and participate in related events underscore the platform&rsquo;s efforts to secure its position in the U.S.
Tech Giants Caught in the Crossfire
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0d7bf9501b1d2904eab062c66271b25611de81bb383f55d297f405b767299083" />
While TikTok&rsquo;s services are gradually being restored, major tech companies such as Apple and Google have not reinstated the app in their respective stores. The absence of TikTok from these platforms means new users cannot download the app, and ByteDance&rsquo;s other offerings, including CapCut and Lemon8, remain unavailable.
Apple and Google&rsquo;s reluctance reflects broader concerns about potential legal liabilities under the federal ban, which imposes steep penalties for non-compliance. On the other hand, TikTok&rsquo;s hosting provider Oracle and content delivery partner Akamai have resumed their services, relying on assurances from Trump&rsquo;s administration that they would not face repercussions.
A Legal and Political Quagmire
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7a2af06bdf792a9315d6a09dcba8e2ab234adf23593ed3e9237f4cbdcd8b14d2" /> Left: Tom Cotton ; Right: Pete Ricketts
TikTok&rsquo;s return has sparked a flurry of legal and political debates. The Supreme Court recently upheld the federal ban, citing national security risks tied to ByteDance&rsquo;s ownership. Critics argue that ByteDance&rsquo;s ties to the Chinese government could lead to the misuse of American user data, a claim TikTok has consistently denied.
Republican senators Tom Cotton and Pete Ricketts have been vocal in their opposition to Trump&rsquo;s decision to extend TikTok&rsquo;s compliance timeline. In a joint statement, they insisted that the law banning TikTok must be enforced without delay, stating, &ldquo;There is no legal basis for any kind of &lsquo;extension&rsquo; of its effective date.&rdquo;
Implications for Businesses and Users
The ban and its subsequent partial reversal have caused widespread disruption for TikTok&rsquo;s ecosystem, which includes millions of creators, advertisers, and small businesses. Many marketing firms reliant on TikTok have described the situation as chaotic, with some scrambling to shift their strategies.
The uncertainty surrounding TikTok&rsquo;s availability has also prompted a surge in VPN searches, as users seek alternative ways to access the platform. Meanwhile, concerns have arisen over transactions on TikTok Shop, the platform&rsquo;s e-commerce arm, leaving both buyers and sellers in limbo.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fb7693371ae80273ccd93ac845176271d2a3e57b018e3f7a68a2105600582c83" />
TikTok&rsquo;s troubles are deeply intertwined with escalating tensions between the U.S. and China. The Chinese Embassy in Washington accused the U.S. of using state power to suppress TikTok, vowing to protect its interests. Beijing has reportedly held discussions about selling TikTok&rsquo;s U.S. operations to American investors, though details remain murky.
Trump&rsquo;s proposed solution of a joint venture with U.S. ownership is seen as a potential compromise, but it remains unclear how this would address broader concerns about data security and corporate governance.
A Precedent in Tech Regulation
 The TikTok ban marks a significant moment in the history of U.S. tech regulation, as no major social media platform has ever been banned before. The move has sparked debates about the extent of governmental authority in the digital age and the balance between national security and free market principles.
TikTok&rsquo;s case could set a precedent for other Chinese-owned apps operating in the U.S., such as WeChat. Congress&rsquo;s sweeping legislation grants the government broad authority to ban or seek the sale of foreign-owned apps, raising questions about the future of global tech competition.
 For now, TikTok users can breathe a sigh of relief as the platform resumes its services. However, the underlying issues&mdash;ranging from data privacy concerns to geopolitical rivalries&mdash;remain unresolved. Whether TikTok&rsquo;s proposed restructuring will satisfy lawmakers and regulators is still unclear.
As the saga unfolds, it highlights the increasingly complex interplay between technology, politics, and global commerce. TikTok&rsquo;s journey in the U.S. serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing companies operating in an era of heightened digital scrutiny and international competition.

With TikTok's unbanning, one can only hope the commotion surrounding the issue settles down. During the uncertainty of the ban, many TikTok users, playfully referred to as "TikTok Refugees," migrated to platforms like RedNote (Xiao Hong Shu &ndash; XHS), where they engaged harmoniously with users in China and even sparked a surge in learning Mandarin through apps like Duolingo.&nbsp; 
So, is TikTok here to stay? For now, it seems likely. However, this doesn&rsquo;t mean users won&rsquo;t continue exploring alternative social media platforms that are just a download away.

What was intended as a major flood mitigation and river restoration project has turned into an unsettling revelation of hidden tragedies and deep-seated pollution. Over a dozen human bodies, including that of a baby, have been discovered as part of the Klang River Flood Mitigation Project, carried out under the Selangor Maritime Gateway (SMG) initiative.
These revelations have stunned both the project team and the public, offering a stark reminder of the environmental and societal challenges that lurk beneath Malaysia&rsquo;s most urbanised waterways.
Bodies Found Amid River Dredging
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7a466ee71240db133338f00fafcc5f453d1e309605d4c89a040b4354693a919c" />
According to Landasan Lumayan Sdn Bhd (LLSB) managing director Syaiful Azmen Nordin, the discovery of human remains has not been an isolated incident, but a grimly recurring reality since works began on 1 November 2022. The project, which includes dredging and widening the river to reduce the risk of flooding, has exposed more than ten bodies, with some weeks witnessing back-to-back discoveries.
&ldquo;To date, we&rsquo;ve handed over more than 10 bodies to the police and fire department for further investigation,&rdquo; Syaiful revealed during a press visit to Zone 8 of the project in Kota Kemuning on 16 June.
He described the emotional impact of the discoveries on workers, noting that the infant body was particularly distressing. &ldquo;There was even a point where we found three bodies in three consecutive days,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;These are not the kinds of findings you prepare for in civil engineering.&rdquo;
Unprecedented Pollution: Fridges, Sofas and Motorcycles in the Riverbed
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2680fc8173041d6b244d9537a60d60c6d01841b2fc2836ba36e1a69e1ccbdf5a" />
Beyond the haunting discovery of bodies, the flood mitigation teams have also encountered shocking levels of river pollution. As workers excavated sediment and debris, they pulled out massive items such as refrigerators, lorry tyres, mattresses, bedframes, sofas, and even motorcycles from the bottom of the Klang River.
&ldquo;I honestly don&rsquo;t understand how an entire refrigerator ends up in a river,&rdquo; Syaiful said, baffled by the sheer scale of illegal dumping. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not just one or two isolated items&mdash;this has clearly been going on for a long time.&rdquo;
The level of pollution has made dredging efforts significantly more complex. To date, more than 918,936 cubic metres of waste material&mdash;including sediment, solid waste, and rocks&mdash;have been removed from the river as part of the ongoing restoration effort.
Additionally, LLSB records show that since 2016, a total of 94,000 metric tonnes of floating waste have been collected from the river&rsquo;s surface&mdash;highlighting both past neglect and the present urgency of clean-up operations.
Holistic Approach to River Restoration
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e8b5ea929eba289f559b175424fd3a9347aec62e9d4e750afd1b6e116c4fe1ee" />
The Klang River Flood Mitigation Project is part of a broader, long-term plan under the SMG framework to address flood risks while restoring the Klang River&rsquo;s ecosystem and turning it into a sustainable water resource. The initiative aims to expand the river&rsquo;s flow capacity by up to 40% and improve water quality to at least Class III on the Water Quality Index (WQI), allowing for future treatment into potable water.
Current works focus on Zones 6, 7, and 8 in Shah Alam, covering areas identified as flood-prone, including Alam Impian, Section 24, Section 17, and Kota Kemuning. The project includes widening the river from 50&ndash;60 metres to 80&ndash;100 metres, strengthening embankments with flood walls, geo bags, sheet piles, and introducing earth bunds for structural resilience.
The initiative also supports the Shah Alam Sustainable Urban Drainage (SASUD) programme and the development of a water treatment plant at Sungai Rasau, aligning efforts to ensure Klang River becomes a future source of raw water supply for Selangor.
Minimal Community Disruption Promised
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d0d0a1ae20b43d07f3e588aed0f6714c9d544fb41d3386fff1d8408977a4706b" />
Despite the scale of the project, LLSB has assured the public that community disruption has been kept to a minimum. Measures have been taken to mitigate dust, noise, and traffic disturbances, including the provision of alternative routes, noise monitoring, and early communication with affected residents.
&ldquo;This is not just a construction site,&rdquo; said Syaiful. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a community-focused infrastructure project aimed at preventing disasters like flash floods while also creating long-term ecological value.&rdquo;
While engineering and environmental planning are progressing, Syaiful emphasised that public behaviour remains a critical challenge. He called for greater civic awareness, pointing out that many of the items dumped into the river could have been recycled or disposed of responsibly.
&ldquo;Some of these things may have washed in during floods, but not all of them. The volume is too high,&rdquo; he stressed. &ldquo;This shows a lack of civic responsibility. People must change the way they think about waste and how we treat our rivers.&rdquo;
Looking Ahead: A Cleaner, Safer Klang River
Syaiful confirmed that the flood mitigation and rehabilitation efforts will expand to other sections of the Klang River, prioritised based on flood risk assessments and population density.
He acknowledged that the project is not without its difficulties. &ldquo;Our challenges are significant&mdash;but we believe that this integrated, large-scale approach is the future of water management and flood prevention in Selangor.&rdquo;
Despite its grim revelations, the Klang River project is charting a path forward&mdash;one that not only improves urban resilience to floods but aspires to turn a polluted and neglected river into a sustainable natural asset for generations to come.
As we strive for sustainability, it's essential that Malaysians take responsibility&mdash;not only by keeping our rivers free from waste, but also by embracing proper recycling habits. These small, consistent actions can go a long way in keeping both our waterways and streets clean for future generations.

The discovery of an infant’s body left a profound emotional impact on those involved in the cleanup efforts.

Klang River Project Uncovers Grim Truths: Bodies, Waste, And the Battle To Reclaim A River

Controversial internet personality Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, known for his provocative prank videos and live-stream antics, has been moved to a high-security facility in the Philippines as he awaits trial for multiple legal violations. The Russian-American content creator, who has over 10 million YouTube subscribers and a significant following on streaming platform Kick, was arrested in April 2025 following a string of allegedly harassing and disruptive incidents involving Filipino citizens.
On 11 June 2025, Zdorovetskiy was transferred from the Bureau of Immigration (BI) detention centre in Bicutan to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) facility in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila. This move signals a shift from administrative detention to a more stringent custodial arrangement due to the seriousness of the allegations against him.
Who Is Vitaly Zdorovetskiy?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/acd05eb7dadb3ba0bcabb41a04fe5c851cfd32f9ecf9369edd36fdf7cd7b483c" />
Born in Russia and holding both American and Russian citizenships, Vitaly rose to prominence through viral prank videos that often skirt the line between humour and public nuisance. He has also dabbled in live streaming, with a fanbase attracted to his unpredictable, confrontational content.
However, his notoriety has been marred by frequent controversies. In his early content, Vitaly was known for shock-based humour, but in recent years, his antics have escalated into confrontational &ldquo;in real life&rdquo; (IRL) stunts. In April 2025, during a series of live streams in the Philippines, he was accused of harassing locals, attempting to kiss a security guard without consent, and even allegedly stealing.
The resulting public outcry was swift, with Filipino authorities responding by detaining him. The Bureau of Immigration confirmed that the arrest was prompted by multiple reports of public disorder and violations of immigration laws. Notably, officials from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) confirmed that Zdorovetskiy admitted to several of the alleged acts.
Here&rsquo;s some clips of his antics in the Philippines:

From Entertainment to Enforcement: A High-Profile Case
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/44a103177a771643e4b6d2f01c4067ff4d2b3f6a0aaa9e01d1359bc0f36547df" />
Despite his attorney&rsquo;s efforts to secure bail and his offer to voluntarily report to authorities if released, the BI denied Zdorovetskiy's request. Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado emphasised that Vitaly&rsquo;s case is not merely administrative in nature but a matter of upholding Philippine law and protecting public order.
&ldquo;This is not simply an administrative concern&mdash;it is a matter of upholding the integrity of our immigration system,&rdquo; Viado stated. &ldquo;We cannot allow deportation proceedings to be delayed or derailed by public figures using their platform for sympathy or manipulation.&rdquo;
He added that foreign nationals, regardless of celebrity status, must respect local laws or face legal consequences.
The denial of bail and transfer to BJMP Muntinlupa suggest Philippine authorities are taking a tough stance, especially after rising public concern over foreign social media influencers allegedly abusing their platform to disrespect host countries.
Prison Conditions, Health Decline, and Public Backlash
Following his arrest on 2 April 2025, Vitaly&rsquo;s conditions in custody have drawn attention. Reports surfaced alleging that the YouTuber was being held in a sweltering cell with no air conditioning. Images released on social media on 16 June showed a visibly thinner Vitaly, sparking concern among fans. Observers noted significant weight and muscle loss, with noticeable changes in his facial structure.

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
Initially, some reports speculated he could be detained for up to three years, but legal analysts now estimate a potential sentence closer to 18 months &mdash; if found guilty. Nevertheless, his legal battles are far from over. As of now, there is no confirmed trial date nor clarity on how long the proceedings may take.
President Ferdinand &ldquo;Bongbong&rdquo; Marcos Jr himself weighed in on the controversy. In a public statement, he condemned the YouTuber&rsquo;s actions, saying: &ldquo;One of the things we saw this Sunday was the infuriating behaviour of a foreign vlogger toward our fellow citizens. Whether he was joking or not, what Filipino wouldn&rsquo;t feel their blood boil watching that?&rdquo;
Deportation Only After Due Process
Once the local court cases are resolved, Zdorovetskiy is expected to be deported from the Philippines as an &ldquo;undesirable alien.&rdquo; However, complications remain. Both the United States and Russia have thus far declined to take custody of him, potentially prolonging his stay in the Philippines even after sentencing.
The BI reiterated that deportation cannot proceed until all legal matters are settled. Commissioner Viado made clear that hospitality must never be mistaken for tolerance of disrespect or illegal activity.
&ldquo;Foreign nationals are welcome in the Philippines&mdash;but they are expected to obey our laws and respect our communities. Those who choose otherwise must face the appropriate legal consequences,&rdquo; he said.
Until then, Zdorovetskiy remains behind bars in Muntinlupa with no bail, no release date, and a trial that could stretch on for months.

YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy Moved To High-Security Jail In Philippines Amid Legal Fallout Over Pranks

The wait is finally over &mdash; after months of anticipation, Malaysian EXO-Ls can now secure their tickets to see Baekhyun live in concert. The acclaimed vocalist is bringing his 2025 BAEKHYUN WORLD TOUR: Reverie to Kuala Lumpur this August, marking a momentous milestone in his solo career and an unforgettable occasion for K-pop fans across the country.
Who Is Baekhyun?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a743239ff84b93d02e784e8937fcd4e0d310dc1f926ecaec1df39b140809cf49" />
Byun Baekhyun is no stranger to the spotlight. Known for his mesmerising vocals, versatile artistry and magnetic stage presence, Baekhyun has spent over a decade building a legacy in the global music scene. He debuted in 2012 as a member of EXO, one of K-pop&rsquo;s most successful groups, and quickly became a fan favourite thanks to his distinctive voice and charismatic performances. He also performed as part of the sub-units EXO-CBX and EXO-K, and led the K-pop supergroup SuperM.
Baekhyun launched his solo career in 2019 with the mini album City Lights, which sold over 550,000 copies, becoming South Korea&rsquo;s best-selling solo album of that year. His next releases, Delight (2020) and Bambi (2021), both achieved million-seller status &mdash; with Delight being the first album by a South Korean soloist in nearly two decades to cross the million mark.

His global influence soared further with the release of Hello, World in 2024, which topped international charts and became the best-selling solo album by a K-pop artist that year with 1.4 million units sold.

Baekhyun’s Solo Tour Lands In Kuala Lumpur: Tickets Now On Sale For ‘Reverie’ World Tour

The tragic discovery of a 39-year-old schoolteacher&rsquo;s decomposed body in her Johor home has sparked widespread concern and prompted authorities to issue a public appeal for assistance in tracing her only known living relative. The woman, who had been absent from work since September last year, is believed to have died alone nearly a month prior to the discovery of her remains.
Alarming Smell Leads to Grim Discovery
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6e7915548b8e94674c3ad146ed6ef4a83bc1623b4c9634c92bcc9594b26830b7" />
On the evening of Thursday, 12 June, residents of Bandar Selesa Jaya in Skudai were alarmed by a strong foul smell emanating from a house in their neighbourhood. After days of tolerating the stench, one concerned neighbour finally lodged a police report at the Nusa Bestari Police Station at approximately 8:06pm.
Responding officers forced entry into the premises, where they were met with a harrowing scene: the lifeless, heavily decomposed body of a woman&mdash;later identified as Lo Kwan Fong, also known as Luo Qunfeng (transliteration)&mdash;was found inside the house.
According to Assistant Commissioner M. Kumarasan, the Iskandar Puteri District Police Chief, the victim is believed to have died about a month earlier. Early observations ruled out any signs of a struggle or forced entry.
No Foul Play Suspected, But Autopsy Inconclusive
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5e80775d729b95a4a8bd9414ea5aa0da57a1386ae5e209a8e31dec9b554fc709" />
A post-mortem examination was carried out at Hospital Sultanah Aminah (HSA) in Johor Bahru by forensic specialists. However, due to the advanced state of decomposition, the medical team was unable to determine the precise cause of death. The body had reportedly deteriorated to such an extent that internal indicators were no longer viable for a conclusive assessment.
&ldquo;The autopsy could not ascertain the cause of death. However, there were no signs of criminal activity, and we have classified this as a case of sudden death,&rdquo; said ACP Kumarasan.
This classification rules out foul play for now, though police have not entirely closed the file, pending any new leads or forensic insights.
Months of Absence and Increasing Isolation
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e8d33a24b9e99de5f89ea8602ccb1f31937e058044be4aef9499d381896d8901" />
Lo, a teacher at a school in Taman Tunku Aminah, had not reported for work since 24 September 2024. At first, her prolonged absence was met with concern from colleagues, especially given that she had always been punctual and professional. However, those closest to her say she became increasingly withdrawn in the months prior to her disappearance.
In February 2025, her colleagues paid her a visit at home. It was the last confirmed contact anyone had with her. Subsequent efforts to reach her, including further home visits and attempts to call, went unanswered. Neighbours also noted that they had not seen her in a long time, but it wasn&rsquo;t until the strong odour began to spread that authorities were contacted.
She led a quiet, solitary life. According to her colleagues, she was reserved and rarely spoke about her personal affairs. She had reportedly lost both parents before 2010, and it was believed she had no siblings. She never married and had no children.
The only relative she had ever mentioned was her maternal aunt, who had moved to Singapore many years ago. This aunt, now estimated to be around 74 years old, is presumed to be her only surviving family member. However, no direct contact information for the aunt is known, making the search more difficult.
Her colleagues, heartbroken by the manner in which she passed, have since appealed for public assistance in finding this relative so that Lo can be laid to rest by family, not strangers.
Funeral Plans On Hold As Search for Kin Continues
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ec5549f18262c423eb429b8cf353020b22b35e6a1a692b56844a06b1cc462969" />
Lo&rsquo;s body remains at the morgue while police and hospital authorities wait for her next of kin to come forward. Several kind-hearted members of the community have expressed willingness to help arrange a funeral service, but Lo&rsquo;s colleagues say they are holding out hope that a family member&mdash;particularly the aunt in Singapore&mdash;can be located.
&ldquo;Although people have come forward to help with her final rites, we truly hope her relative can be found to give her the proper farewell she deserves,&rdquo; said one co-worker. &ldquo;No one should have to die and be buried alone, especially someone who contributed to shaping the lives of young students.&rdquo;
Police and Public Appeal for Information
Authorities are now actively tracing Lo&rsquo;s family and have issued a public call for anyone with information to assist. Those who may have known Lo&rsquo;s family background or her late mother&rsquo;s connections in Singapore are urged to come forward.
The public can contact the Skudai Police Station at 07-511 2622 to provide leads.
A Tragic Reflection of Urban Isolation
The case has prompted reflection on broader social issues such as urban loneliness and the vulnerability of individuals living alone, especially those with few close contacts or support networks. Social media users have expressed sorrow and frustration, questioning how a person could go unnoticed for so long in a densely populated community.
&ldquo;Her absence from school for months should&rsquo;ve raised alarms sooner,&rdquo; one commenter wrote. &ldquo;We all need to look out for each other&mdash;especially those who live alone and keep to themselves.&rdquo;
As tributes pour in for the late teacher, many have called on communities to be more proactive in checking on vulnerable neighbours and friends. Some former students have come forward on social media to describe her as &ldquo;soft-spoken but dedicated,&rdquo; adding a poignant human face to what otherwise might have been just another forgotten tragedy.

Johor Teacher Found Decomposed In Her Home After Months Of Absence

A disturbing incident in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, has ignited widespread outrage after a university student was allegedly caught recording upskirt videos of women using a mobile phone hidden in a shopping bag. The dramatic confrontation was captured in a viral video, leading to the discovery of over 500GB of voyeuristic footage and triggering renewed concerns over public safety and predatory behaviour in urban areas.
Suspicious Behaviour Spotted in Crowded Street
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsinn.er.75709%2Fvideos%2F1089399166438885%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=266&amp;t=0" width="266" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The incident unfolded near the popular Lot 10 shopping mall, where a group of Malaysian university students noticed a man behaving oddly as he trailed a woman wearing a skirt. He was holding a paper bag in an unnatural position&mdash;angled just beneath the woman's skirt&mdash;as they crossed the street. Inside the bag, his smartphone was facing upward, allegedly positioned to secretly film beneath her clothing.
Realising something was wrong, the group&mdash;including the woman&rsquo;s friends&mdash;immediately confronted him. One of them grabbed his hand and asked, &ldquo;Bro, what are you recording?&rdquo; as another began recording the confrontation. The man, who was wearing a face mask, attempted to flee but was stopped at a nearby traffic light and later tackled to the ground when he tried to escape again.
Students Take Action Before Police Arrive
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c8bf8060a85e637a063bc8dd1d42ea8f988df6367b7f29806a2f8298a0ae601d" />
As onlookers gathered, the suspect was pinned down and held in a headlock by one of the students to prevent him from fleeing again. A security guard eventually intervened and took control of the scene before the police arrived. While waiting, the group demanded the suspect unlock his phone.
Initially, no incriminating content was visible, prompting concerns that the man may have deleted evidence. However, one of the students realised that some Android devices can switch between multiple user accounts or operating environments. Upon switching systems, they made a chilling discovery.
Staggering Archive of Voyeuristic Material Uncovered
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/993404169f1b8e5a5710b77d669039a9060577d9aeb942bf6d2e48f99611cf42" />
The phone reportedly contained approximately 500GB of illicit upskirt videos and images&mdash;a collection so vast that it shocked even the seasoned among the group. In a follow-up video and accompanying Facebook post, one woman who was at the scene claimed that the phone held thousands of such recordings. Many of the victims appeared to be unaware they were being filmed, and several were reportedly not wearing safety shorts, making the act even more invasive.
Additional material found on the device allegedly included records linked to online gambling platforms, prompting speculation that the suspect may be involved in other illegal activities.
Suspect Believed to Be a Cyberjaya Student
Further investigation by the group revealed that the man is believed to be a student at a university in Cyberjaya. This revelation has sparked concern that such predatory behaviour might be occurring undetected within academic environments.
Fearing that the man could evade serious consequences or return to campus under false pretences, the students decided to publicly share their experience and the video of the confrontation. &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t want this person to tell people he was arrested for gambling and just carry on as if nothing happened,&rdquo; said one of the students involved.
Motivated by Justice, Not Fame
The video quickly went viral, with many praising the students for their courage and initiative. However, the individuals behind the video were quick to clarify their motivations. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re not doing this for attention or praise. We just want to make sure he doesn&rsquo;t get away with it&mdash;and that women are warned,&rdquo; said the victim&rsquo;s friend in a statement.
The students stressed that sharing the video was about raising awareness, not showcasing heroism. They also warned other university students to stay vigilant, as there was evidence suggesting the suspect might not have acted alone.
Here&rsquo;s some reactions from netizens online:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
Doesn't matter how comedic you find this story is. This is a severe case of underwear recording addiction. Yes, you might laughed and he didn't really bother people with this behaviour. But he needs help.

Legal Grey Area for Student Vigilantes
While public reaction has been overwhelmingly supportive, there is concern that the students could potentially face legal action for forcibly unlocking the suspect&rsquo;s phone before police arrived. One of the women involved acknowledged this risk, saying they were told at the police station that the suspect&rsquo;s rights might have been violated by their actions.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsinn.er.75709%2Fvideos%2F1745435799695127%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=266&amp;t=0" width="266" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Still, she maintained that the need to secure evidence before it was erased outweighed the potential legal risk. &ldquo;We did what we thought was right. If we hadn&rsquo;t checked the phone, the truth may never have come out,&rdquo; she explained.
Police Yet to Issue Official Statement
As of the time of writing, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have not released an official statement regarding the case. According to the group, the suspect was handed over to authorities and an investigation paper was opened. Whether he will be formally charged, and under what offences, remains to be seen.
The delay in official response has left some netizens calling for swifter police transparency and clearer protocols for such incidents involving sexual harassment and digital evidence.
A Wake-Up Call for Urban and Campus Safety
The case has sparked widespread conversation across social media, particularly among women sharing tips on how to protect themselves in public. Many are advising others to wear safety pants when wearing skirts and to remain hyper-aware of their surroundings, especially in crowded areas like Bukit Bintang.
This incident is now being viewed as a wake-up call not just for law enforcement, but for educational institutions, city authorities, and the public at large. With perpetrators increasingly using clever tactics and technology to commit such acts unnoticed, the need for proactive community vigilance and stronger deterrents has never been greater.
As the case continues to unfold, many hope it will serve as a precedent for how serious digital voyeurism is treated&mdash;and how important it is for ordinary citizens to act when they witness wrongdoing.
