Bentong MP feels sexually harassed and has gone to the police





KUANTAN — July 18, 2023: Bentong parliamentarian Young Syefura Othman feels that she has been unfairly targetted by a social media influencer to the point beyond acceptable decency and has thus lodged police reports.

One report is about a scam involving an Instagram message where an individual claimed to be her representative for the organisation of an income-generating programme.

The one against the influencer relates to a video on TikTok and Instagram which the DAP politician deemed as sexual harassment.

“The video went viral and was shared many times. The influencer uttered several vulgar words and his body language made me very uncomfortable.

“I am open to debate on my views and political ideologies. We all have a right to our opinions but this influencer attacked me personally and tarnished my reputation and status as a woman and an MP,” she said in a statement.
