stalking

Certain areas within the legislation need to be further strengthened, specifically provisions related to survivor protection.

Ramkarpal Singh said the amendment is to protect victims of stalking, both women and men.

Victims of stalking will be able to apply for a protection order as soon as the alleged perpetrator of the crime is investigated by the police.

The proposed amendment is to insert a new section, (507a), in Act 574 so as to provide for the offence of stalking.

Bacaan kedua bagi Rang Undang-Undang (RUU) berkaitan Anti-Stalking akan dibentang di dewan rakyat pada bulan Oktober 2022 ini.

Efforts to pass the anti-stalking bill require the cooperation of all quarters as anyone could be a victim of the crime, Mas Ermieyati said.

Proposed amendments to the law will make both physical and cyberstalking crime, but there are still gaps to be addressed.

Walaupun perbuatan menghendap secara maya tidak melibatkan sentuhan atau mendatangkan kecederaan, tetapi ia boleh mengganggu mental dan emosi mangsa.

Not only physical stalking but also repeated online stalking is a crime, according to the Penal Code (Amendment) Bill 2022 (Act 574).

The bill also stated whoever commits the offence of stalking shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years or with fine or with both.

RUU yang bakal diperkenalkan itu dijangka mampu melindungi mangsa daripada gangguan secara realiti atau dalam talian.

A 35-year-old man has been found guilty of stalking US Open tennis champion Emma Raducanu.

Mas Ermieyati said the amendment would be tabled in Parliament after obtaining the approval of the Cabinet.

Sudah tiba masanya kita berdiri sama tinggi dengan negara-negara lain dunia yang telah memperluas takrifan intip dan hendap sebagai suatu jenayah.

Satu kajian akan dilakukan untuk meneliti keperluan mewujudkan akta khusus bagi menangani isu gangguan seksual menerusi aktiviti menghendap dalam talian.
