Panel takes a peek at room
KUALA LUMPUR: The Commission of Inquiry adjourned to the Petaling Jaya district police headquarters yesterday afternoon to visit the room where the footage was allegedly recorded.
The locker room is next to the female detainees’ lockup.
The press was barred from entering the building.
Commission member Tan Sri Lim Ah Lek said the panel observed that there was an air ventilation outlet at one end of the locker room.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Hazam Abdul Halim and officer in charge of the Petaling Jaya police station C/Insp Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahman testified before the panel earlier that the room was used to conduct strip searches on new detainees.
C/Insp Abdul Aziz said he believed that the video clip of a fair skinned woman doing ear squats had been shot from the ventilating passage.
He said the window-like passage had a glass panel that had been darkened with blue paint to ensure privacy.
However, he added that the glass panel could be opened and one could peep into the room from the outside as the vent was about 1.5m above the floor.
ACP Mohd Hazam testified that the passage was located within the building and “not outside where outsiders could take the shot with a zoom lens.”
“The public is prohibited from going near the lockup area,” he added.
