Hi.

I recently watched a video of Eric Kim talking about how to settle confrontations on the streets. He talked about how the laws of his country allowed him to take pictures of people so long as it was on public property (I think).

I was wondering if the law applies here in Malaysia, or do we have to delete a picture when someone asks us to, however rudely they ask?

Dood... it's bolehland la.

Everything also got grey area la but in this case, if ppl don't like, just delete la (except film users) ... why cari gaduh?

Generally speaking, there's no assumption of privacy in public area except specifically stated (public toilet is not photography venue). That's why everywhere also can pasang security CCTV.

I got kena before from people saying that photographing strangers in public place is not legal in Taiwan which is untrue but let common sense prevail la. Anyway, It's not like the average joe's are legal experts.

Quoted for legitimacy ... sosej interweb

like SOTR said, why cari gaduh? just delete if they ask to

i got kena one time in msia that is, was with my frens (film guys) walking around somewhere in KL shoot2, i brought a 60D tat time. one time i was taking a pic of a car, nice old school car. didnt realize there was a girl walking behind the car. so i ter-shot her sekali..then she was like all over me..''kenapa amik gambar saya? u cannot just take a pic of a stranger'' bla bla bla..''

i came on nicely n said im very sorry n delete the pic infront of her..then she walks away..not long after that, she came to us again (me n my buddies) with her bf/hubby/abang/i dun know who (because the guy refuses to tell us his name n who is he), n the guy warned us/me not to let that happen again..im quite demoralized that day, thinking of how rude the guy n the girl is..but that's just part of life i guess

so if the guy/girl ask u to delete the photos, then just do so to avoid gaduh here n there

i would either smile or turn around and run away immediately if i encounter such issue

Thanks Sniper and Tony.

I was just curious lah since some of us fail to be rational when we're angry. Like what that Eric Kim dude did lol, he was just aggravated by that persons action that he cari gaduh lol.

Been starting to take more pictures of strangers lately but so far I'm still a little afraid to take pictures of their faces. Knowing that I have the law by my side can be comforting...I think.

thanks haha.

The hawker centre looks familiar. Penang if i'm not wrong?

From my experience, most Malaysians are very camera shy so they are afraid of the photographer more than the photographer are afraid of them. At once I shoot at a busy street, for direction that I am shooting it, it will be empty, EVEN it is a zebra cross lines!!! They avoid you...

i thought thats wut i said/wrote

but she was mad. its not as easy u describe there buddy she came to me asking all kind of questions, she retaliating

from ur situation/wut u wrote, its like when a pic is snapped, ''did u take a pic of me?'' ''yes'' then the subject saw the pic, like it/dislike it, then delete/not, then done.

well, from my situation, not as simple as that

just my 3 cents

lol... never been thru those cases
