Johor Bahru Selatan district police chief Mohd Padzli Mohd Zain said in a statement today a police report was lodged on the same day.

The case is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code for uttering words or performing a gesture intended to insult the modesty of a person.

Through a Facebook post, the woman claimed that the security personnel made obscene jokes and gestures to her when she came to the vaccination centre to get her Covid-19 jab.

The 32-year-old said she had been left speechless by the man’s crude jokes and walked away but a group around him, wearing similar green fatigues, only laughed and made a remark about her hair.

The woman said she was late for her vaccination appointment and failed to notice the man’s name tag or badge number.
