And proven in a fair court.

Welcome to Malaysia bro

On a legal standpoint, you can only ask the perpetrator to cease his illegal activity, else you would consult police. It's his choice to whether comply or just ignore you.

Any resulted scuffling should then be prosecuted in other charges, if any individual is found guilty.

In layman term, you cannot punch the men in his face even though he smoke illegally.


Additionally, premise owner and operator are duty bound to ensure their place smoked free as per gazetted government law and regulation.
If the police dismissed you, you can try to negotiate with the owner/operator of the mentioned premise by telling them that you would report to MoH if no actions are taken on these illegal smoking activities.

It's all about paperwork.

Signed contract between the two party regarding the services will be provided, anything from quotation, tax invoice to receipts, and he owe you more than 30k for half year and above, yes you can file a bankruptcy petition.

Before that, LoD is your best available legal way to ask for your money back.

Privacy law is somewhat outdated here in Malaysia.

And it's messy to deal with.

The short answer for your question is yes, that anyone can photograph you in a public area without your consent, as long as it respect your modesty

Food for though:

Anyone photograph you when you are in your private space (such as inside your property) from a public area, like the main road, is legal.

Even that guy trespass into your property and take a photo of you, the legality is still debatable. He still owns the photo, in other words.

However, the rights to use the photography is not without limitation, tho.

The subject of the photography have every right to sue the photographer for defamation (and other) as long as the photo taken is used out of context.
