#UndiRosak campaigner Maryam Lee has lodged a police report over the barrage of sexual harassment and physical threats directed against her.

In her report lodged at the Hulu Kelang police station this morning, Maryam stated that she had read the threatening comments on the Malaysian Gags Facebook page, which had uploaded a video recording of her participating in a forum discussing the #UndiRosak or vote-spoiling campaign.

Maryam said she decided to lodge the report as she felt that her safety was under threat.

“I was threatened and insulted by members of the public who do not agree with the views I raised during the forum.

“The insults I received is a serious issue, as it involves both sexual harassment and physical threats.

“I am just a Malaysian citizen who gave my view in a forum, but I was threatened and insulted by the public with the aim to curb freedom of speech,” she said in her report.

Asked whether police would investigate the case under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, Maryam (photo) said they only wanted to probe the physical and death threats.

“The cyber bullying and sexual harassment don’t qualify for a criminal investigation,” she told Malaysiakini.

Maryam had published a video on her personal Facebook wall showing doctored images, sexist comments, and accusations that she was “paid by BN,” which she received after participating in the Jan 25 forum.

She had blamed Harapan supporters for the attacks, and condemned leaders from the coalition for their “silence” despite previously decrying “toxic politics.”

Following criticism over their silence, several Harapan leaders later came forth to condemn the misogynist and personal cyber attacks directed at Maryam.
