In a recent incident, an Indian-Malaysian woman took to Facebook to expose her frustrating journey in search of rental accommodation in Terengganu. Her story gained traction, being shared almost 5,000 times.

Over the course of two weeks, she visited more than 40 properties, only to be repeatedly rejected with a disheartening message: "Sorry, we don't rent to non-Muslims." Frustrated by the religious bias she encountered, she turned to a community group for assistance.

After joining the group, she enlisted the help of a man who offered to assist in finding a rental property open to non-Muslims. The situation took a disturbing turn when the man began inquiring about compensation for his help. He went on to express his desire for "play," using language that suggested sexual services, leaving the woman shocked and outraged.

Feeling cornered, the woman publicly shared screenshots of their conversation, including the man's account details and name. She questioned the underlying humanity in a world where snap judgments are made without real-life interactions. Her post garnered widespread support and criticism of the man's behaviour.

Internet sleuths quickly uncovered that the man was married, prompting further backlash against his actions. The woman reported the incident to the authorities, as the situation escalated.

Subsequently, the man posted an apology within the same community group, claiming that he had not engaged in any form of sexual harassment. He asserted that his Facebook account had been hacked and that he was not responsible for the lewd comments attributed to him. He expressed regret for the turmoil caused by the incident and mentioned his attempts to regain control of his hacked account.

Amidst the confusion surrounding the claims of hacking, it remains unclear whether the man's actions were the result of malicious intent or unauthorized use of his account. This incident underscores the challenges individuals face when trying to secure accommodation and the need for vigilance in protecting oneself.

As this woman's search for a home continues, her story serves as a reminder of the difficulties people encounter while striving to establish themselves and highlights the importance of safeguarding personal information in an increasingly interconnected world.
