Brisk Sales For Compact Spy Camera Detector

KUALA LUMPUR,Jan 20 (Bernama) -- The awareness among Malaysians to protect themselves against intrusion of their privacy appears to have hit the roof going by the brisk sales reported for a handy battery operated spy camera detector which made its market debut recently.
Nada Sepakat Corporation (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, the sole distributor of Shieldbug, which weighs only 25 grammes and about the size of a car remote control, said some 1,520 units of the gadget had been sold over the past one week and endless enquiries had been pouring in.
Its Chief Operating Officer Al Hardy Fakharuddin said the company started marketing Shieldbug last month but it received a huge boost following the New Year's day revelation by then Health Minister Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek that he was the man caught on video having sex with a woman.
The next day, Chua resigned from the Cabinet and relinquished all his posts in the MCA, including as vice president.
" Shieldbug is compact, easy to use and effectively scans for hidden wireless pin-hole spy cameras," Al Hardy said of the Australian product manufactured under licence in China, which is currently retailed at RM277 per unit.
Nada Sepakat, which has also been appointed sole distributor of the gadget for the United Kingdom, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Singapore, plans to go on an advertising blitz in these countries soon and expects sales of 100,000 units this year.
" The feedback that we receive so far shows that Shieldbug is a reliable detector," he said.
Al Hardy said for the corporate sector, Shieldbug would be handy to prevent information leakage on confidential business deals and negotiations in office and meeting rooms.
From March 1, it will also be available at inflight shopping on Malaysia Airlines flights.
