Woman in nude squat video tells police:
Pay me $4m or I'll sue
She hires lawyers, sets 2-week deadline
THE woman at the centre of the nude squat video controversy that rocked Malaysia is now demanding compensation from the government and the police.
19 July 2006
THE woman at the centre of the nude squat video controversy that rocked Malaysia is now demanding compensation from the government and the police.
Ms Hemy Hamisa Abu Hassan Saari, 23, has threatened to sue if she is not paid RM10 million ($4.3m).
She filed a letter of demand yesterday asking for a reply within the next 14 days.
At a press conference in his office yesterday, Ms Hemy's lawyer Mr Baljit Singh Sidhu gave wrongful and negligent detention as the reasons for the claim.
He added that his client had been publicly humiliated as a result of this incident.
He said: 'Although it has been a year since the incident, she is still traumatised.'
The nude squat saga began on 29 Jun last year, when Ms Hemy and five others were arrested for alleged drug possession.
At the Petaling Jaya police station, she was made to strip naked and perform squats.
SECRET RECORDING
Unknown to her, a police officer at the station recorded the incident with a handphone camera.
The 70-second video began to circulate via MMS.
It made headlines when it surfaced in the Malaysian media in November.
The woman in the video was initially wrongly identified as a Chinese national, sparking off a protest from China.
It was only in December last year that Ms Hemy came forward to say that she was the one who had been filmed.
Because of this episode, the Malaysian authorities set up a Nude Squat Inquiry Commission.
A probe was conducted on police strip-search procedures.
Ms Hemy told reporters: 'I am very unhappy because of the way the police handled this matter. What happened to me was not fair.'
She was at the press conference with her husband Kamarul Hamri Mohd Latif and her father-in-law Mohd Latif Daud.
She also told The Star that she hoped that anyone who had the video would destroy it.
She added: 'I cannot even get out of my house these days without getting stares. I am scared, ashamed and embarrassed.
DIRTY LOOKS
'I just don't know where to put my face when people who suspected or knew I was the woman in the video give me dirty looks.'
She and her husband wanted to move out of Kuala Lumpur, to a place where no one recognised her.
But they could not afford to, as they were both unemployed.
Ms Hemy said she had watched the video, and hated the scene.
She added: 'I hate the policeman who took the shot. I will not forgive him for the rest of my life. He was cruel to do this to me.
'I want to forget the whole episode. I am embarrassed by the video. Please give me my life back.'
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said that the man who took the video was 'no longer a policeman'.
He told The Star he had not yet been informed about the woman's demands.

It will be an interesting case. So she is suing the police force?
Hahah if that was singapore, her case would be thrown out of court or settled quietly already....
-
So after a year, she has stated her claim:
No job, no money, so try to get some benefit from the Police by throwing a lawsuit against them... Crux of the issue: SHE WANTS THE MONEY!

'I just don't know where to put my face when people who suspected or knew I was the woman in the video give me dirty looks.'
She and her husband wanted to move out of Kuala Lumpur, to a place where no one recognised her.

Well... if you can see from her remarks... she mentioned that she dunno where to put her face when people knew who she was... but now...??? The whole world would have know who she was liao...
Furthermore, I think she want the money as she want to move out of poverty... and out of KL... Therefore, this is a good method to get money for migration... In addition, they are both cuurently unemployed which makes the money more "useful" to them... as if they got the money from the government then they can once and for all forget about getting a job...
I think RM10 million claim is a bit too much anyway... -

She should go ahead and sue.
-
When the video start circulating and reported in media, she do not sue.
When the people she knows suspects that she is the one, she do not sue.
Now that both her and her husband are unemployed, she sues...
But she ain't worth that much. Even porn stars don't earn that much in a minutes plus video clip.
I don't think anyone would keep that video also... -
Aiyah! The clip also no big shake, only can see her squatting up and down, moreover it's not that clear...Originally posted by caleb_chiang:When the video start circulating and reported in media, she do not sue.

Just like she has a motive now to impulse her claim against the Malaysian Police as she's running out of options available to support her daily living... -
i'm not a racist but i see the way the msian gahment do things are really catagoriesed under the no brainer grp.
that mata who took the vid on his mobile must be a perverted mata, piangz imagine malaysia having this kind of mata, oh yah and if u are caught breaking the traffic rule in msia, if u are a singaporean, all u need to do is give him ur passport with a S$50 in between the pages and u can drive off after taking back ur empty book.
remember the recent dog killing incident? do they have to resort to killing? y cant the tranquilize them then relocate? brainless? this is definately a big yes.
as for the woman, she shld go ahead and sue them and at the same time DEMAND for the money. those police there are seriously not worth a single cent.
