In a statement today, Shah Alam district police chief ACP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said his team received a report lodged on the same day by a 32-year-old female teacher.

He said the suspect's actions were recorded on a closed circuit television (CCTV) and went viral on social media. The recording showed the man entering the women's toilet at the sports complex.

He said on the day of the incident, the teacher had taken students to the complex to participate in the National Day celebration parade practice, and while she was in the toilet, she found a man spying on her from the next (toilet) cubicle.
