PETALING JAYA : Police have urged a woman, featured in a viral video in which an officer is heard making suggestive remarks to her, to assist in the investigation.
Ampang Jaya police chief Azam Ismail said the 90-second video, believed to have been initially uploaded on TikTok, began circulating on Instagram and other platforms yesterday afternoon.
'The police officer has been identified and removed from active duty.
'A disciplinary investigation is also under way,' Bernama quoted him as saying in a statement today.
The case is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code for insulting the modesty of a person, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for improper use of network facilities.
In the video, the officer is heard inviting the woman to a hotel.
Separately, the director of Bukit Aman's integrity and compliance department, Azri Ahmad, said they are conducting a disciplinary investigation against the officer and his supervisors.
'This department will not hesitate to take stern action against any police officer or supervising officer if the complaint is found to be valid,' he said in a statement.
