Stamping out stalkers and spycams

KUALA LUMPUR: Stalkers and those who place hidden cameras to record their victims can be slapped with a three-year jail term under amendments passed by the Dewan Rakyat.

The punishment comes under a new Section 507A in the Penal Code, which makes both physical and online stalking an offence.

“The new section also includes tracking as an offence,” Ramkarpal Singh said when tabling the amendments yesterday.

“Tracking will mean keeping track of a victim in a non-physical manner through any device, like a hidden camera or GPS tracker,” he said.
