De-bugging after the 'bugging' episode

The first episode of the "Politician having sex scandal in a hotel",
with the person in the widely circulated DVD in North Johor
identified himself openly and admitted to the wrong doing and amidst
intense pressure, especially online, did the onus and resigned the
very next day.

Now the second episode has to be addressed. The first episode saw how
some irresponsible and ill intended people with malice, abuse
technology and invaded into someone's privacy. It is unlawful to do
that. The Police has issued statement that the case will be
investigated and three days ago, the Police forensic department were
at the Batu Pahat four-star hotel to collect evidence and interview
some staff.

There had been a much gained attention precedence to this. Local TV
and film personality Nasha Aziz went through the same ordeal when a
businessman bugged her home and captured shots of her undressing.

This will naturally cause alarm to the hundred of thousands of hotel
patrons and guests, that accommodate all over 155,000 hotel rooms all
over the country. The 'bugging' that happened to former Health
Minister Dato' Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek could also happen to anyone else.

Today, TV3 raised this issue. When interviewed, Tourism Minister
Tengku Dato' Adnan Mansor said the Ministry will instruct all hotels
to surrender their recording using the security system for scrutiny.

There is also a talk that all the 155,000 hotel rooms offered for
business in 2400 hotels should be scanned and certified free from any
'bugging' apparatus, to give comfort for the local and foreign
tourism industry customers. This is necessary to cater to the
prioritised industry which over 17.5 million tourist flock and
brought over RM 37 billion into the country, annually.

The thirteen million plus Ringgit question here is, who is the lucky
bugger, or in this case, de-bugger who will get the business, whether
to operate or supply of scanner equipments to these hotels and who
will foot the bill?
