One Kuala Lumpur-area man took to his Facebook account earlier this week, warning fellow netizens and their loved ones that predators continue to walk among us, pretending that they’re shopping when in actuality, they are allegedly up to far more notorious things.

James Chow was at the popular Sunway Pyramid mall on Sunday evening with his girlfriend, when he reports that he noticed a suspicious man in his 40s milling around with several shopping bags. Alleging that he hovered behind women wearing skirts at the mall’s H&M clothing store with his “shopping bag” in from, James says that he was using the bag to disguise a camera inside, and was recording up-skirt images of “several female shoppers.”
Alerting mall security, James then says that a plain-clothes guard went with him, and followed the suspect from H&M to other outlets popular with female shoppers: Innisfree skincare, and the makeup and beauty mecca of Sephora. During this time, the guard was able to confirm that he was indeed shooting women surreptitiously from behind, and they apprehended the individual.
Described as a 40-something Japanese national living in the Damansara neighborhood of Kuala Lumpur, Sunway police found several videos of unidentified women on his phone.
Surprisingly, James then writes that police told him that they will try to “educate” the suspect to not “repeat his offenses again,” and he wondered whether the suspect would face jail as he was a foreign national.
He ends the post telling women to be careful of their surroundings, because you never know when some pervert wearing orange shorts, slippers, and carrying a bunch of shopping bags is actually filming up your skirt.
