Malaysian radio personality Jack Lim recently recounted an unsettling encounter with an individual who was apprehended for capturing inappropriate images and videos beneath women's skirts at a Kuala Lumpur mall. Jack, who was at the mall to promote his upcoming Chinese New Year movie, found himself unexpectedly involved in a tumultuous situation.

In a Facebook post, Jack began by offering an apology and expressing his willingness to face any legal consequences for physically confronting the perpetrator before the auxiliary police intervened. Jack had taken action against the man and was restrained by the auxiliary police, who sought to de-escalate the situation.

Despite acknowledging the impropriety of his actions, Jack explained that recent incidents of sexual harassment and assault across the country, particularly those affecting women, had provoked his anger.

"As someone with a wife and kids, I feel a duty to protect those around me. I apologize; I know I shouldn't have acted on my own, but I couldn't tolerate it."

Jack went on to describe the escalating safety concerns for women in recent events, citing instances such as a woman being assaulted while using a pedestrian bridge and another being followed into a restroom.

Jack noted that he spent a significant amount of time at the police station late into the night to cooperate with the investigation.

Although the perpetrator attempted to flee after being caught, he was unsuccessful.

The incidents are undoubtedly traumatic for women, particularly those who have been victims of harassment in the past. For men with family members, a protective instinct is natural. However, it is crucial to emphasize that taking matters into one's own hands is not the recommended course of action.
