  "account": "In Kuala Lumpur, police have apprehended a 21-year-old suspect suspected of being a Peeping Tom. The arrest occurred after a woman reported the incident at 12.01am today. The 37-year-old victim was using the toilet in a building on Jalan Bukit Bintang when she noticed the man peering through a gap above the cubicle. Startled, she screamed and sought assistance from her husband. Dang Wangi police chief Ahmad Azwan Amin Nordin disclosed that the suspect was taken into custody. A 24-second video of the incident circulated widely on Threads, revealing the outrage expressed by multiple individuals over the alleged actions. The suspect is currently remanded until November 11 to aid in the ongoing investigation. He faces charges under Section 509 of the Penal Code, which can result in up to five years in jail, a fine, or both, for allegedly insulting the victim's modesty. Additionally, the case is under scrutiny for insulting behavior under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955, punishable by a fine of up to RM100.",
