Controversial suspended police officer Sheila Sharon Steven Kumar, better known as 'Inspector Sheila', made headlines today, 12 November, not just for her court appearance, but also for her pointed warning to photographers
The 37-year-old arrived at the court complex in a white police van, escorted by officers from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
She stepped out in an off-the-shoulder top with a maroon body and textured, light-coloured sleeves, paired with a magenta skirt draped around her waist. She was handcuffed, carrying a black handbag with a chain strap.
She first politely greeted members of the media, saying, "Good afternoon, everyone. How are you? Well? Any questions, you guys can ask me later, alright? Nice meeting you guys. It is a good day, Malaysia."
She then told the press photographers taking photos to "watch out".
"Did you ask for my permission to take my pictures? It is my right. You cannot take pictures without my permission. Taking pictures without my permission, watch out."

The court case stems from a viral video in which Sheila allegedly mocked a group of policemen who had stopped and inspected a Pakistani man for driving without a licence on 4 November.
In the video, she is seen questioning the officers' knowledge of the law, ridiculing their actions, and claiming they had threatened the foreigner.
One of the officers later filed a report, prompting an investigation under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act for insulting behaviour.
