PETALING JAYA : Influencer Wee Yun Nee, popularly known as Mekyun, has filed a police report after discovering a Facebook group which posted, among others, pictures of her younger self.
In a social media post, Wee said she lodged the report at Bukit Aman. She was accompanied by her lawyer and brother, Jason.
'Do not remain silent if this happens to you', she said and urged children to not be afraid to inform their parents if they are similarly harassed.
On Wednesday, Malaysiakini reported that Wee took to social media to raise awareness about Facebook groups promoting child-related indecent content.
She said she became aware of such groups after numerous followers had alerted her that an image of her in a 'baju kurung' school uniform when she was younger was being circulated.
Wee urged the police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to investigate the matter.
Earlier today, Wanita PKR had called for swift action to be taken against those who perpetrated sexual crimes against minors after the discovery of a Facebook group which shared photos of underage schoolchildren.
The party wing demanded that the police, MCMC and women, family and community development ministry take immediate and serious action on the matter.
The 'Group Budak2 Sekolah Rendah' page, now inaccessible, had over 12,000 members and many explicitly sexual comments and captions on its photos.
The images included underage students wearing primary and secondary school uniforms, traditional wear, sports attire, and casual clothing.
The issue came to light after rapper Ariz Ramli, better known as Caprice, was notified of the group's existence via an Instagram message. The group was then reported to MCMC as well as the police.
