00:12who has sent her over 2,000 disturbing messages since 2020.
00:17Their relationship, which began in 2017 when Qin served as Liu's agent,
00:22initially seemed friendly but took a dark turn when Liu, claiming to have a Datuk Seri title,
00:28began exhibiting increasingly threatening and stalker-like behaviour.
00:59Ran a unit below my unit.
01:03He ran a unit below my unit but he never stayed there.
01:07He just sometimes purposely stopped his car there to let me see his car.
01:12And then he tell me, actually this one is our escape pod.
01:16So you can come and rest when you are free.
01:20At a press conference on Tuesday, Qin revealed that Liu has been threatening and defaming her,
01:25continuing to send messages through new phone numbers and emails despite her efforts to block him.
01:31I don't know how he can call the people around me,
01:35say I have a mental problem, say I have a mental problem,
01:39actually I need financial help.
01:42Actually he is very kind, he tried to provide me financial help.
01:46Actually which is not true at all.
01:48He everyday email me, I love you, I miss you.
01:51And then the next day, he very inconsistent behaviour.
01:54And then suddenly the next day he will email me,
01:57you think you are so beautiful, you see your mirror,
02:01say something like degrading me.
02:05Similarly, a couple from Mentakab, Pahang,
02:08has faced harassment from a stalker who nearly ruined their marriage.

02:22with the stalker spreading false accusations of infidelity,
02:26almost leading to the break-up of their marriage.
02:28I was lied to by my wife.
02:30She texted me and my wife.
02:34Then she said I made her have a baby and didn't want to take responsibility.
02:40I had her messenger.
02:42Then she didn't reply to me.
02:44One day, I remember it was during Eid,
02:50she sent me a video of her having sex.
02:58Do you want to see it?

03:18but hopes recent amendments to the Penal Code,
03:21which criminalize stalking,
03:23will bring justice and encourage more victims to come forward.
