SHAH ALAM - In a shocking incident that has horrified many residents in Penang, a man was caught on video engaging in a lewd behavior outside a condominium unit with a bra.
The event unfolded in Tanjung Tokong on Oct 20, sparking outrage and concern within the community.
The disturbing footage shared on the PenangToday Community Facebook group showed the man loitering in the corridor before slipping his hand through a gap in the metal grill door of the condominium unit.
He was seen grabbing a bra that was hanging at the unit's entrance, glancing around to make sure no one was watching before pressing it to his face, taking a deep whiff and seemingly pleasuring himself.
In the video, the man could be seen with his right hand positioned near his groin, suggesting he was engaging in masturbation while sniffing the bra.
