It seems that there is simply no end to the number of sexual harassment incidences there have been in recent times. It also appears as if sexual harassment is not simply limited to the public eye but even exists in certain fields of work.
Recently, a local woman took to TikTok to share her experience of being sexually harassed by a random stranger in KL.
As seen in the video posted on her account, a random man suddenly approached her car as she was sitting alone. The man attempted to break into her car multiple times.
According to the woman known as Emma Ariffin, she was waiting for her husband and her child, in the car while they went to a barbershop located on Jalan Chow Kit, KL.
“I didn’t tag along, so I waited in the car. Furthermore, it was raining at that time. Just five minutes after they left, suddenly a guy came approaching our car. He appeared looking mentally unstable. His clothes looked dirty,” recalled Emma.
“I’ve seen people like him around this area, but this time it was different. He was trying so hard to open the car door.”
Fortunately, Emma said that she immediately locked her car door to prevent the man from entering the vehicle.
She added, “Only God knows how I felt at that moment. I was panicking because my husband was so far away from the car. He attempted to open the car door more than three times!”
Emma said that despite it raining at the time, the man stood outside the car for almost 15 minutes. To make matters worse, he started to unzip his pants before fastening it again.
“I didn’t know what to do because I was so scared, so I only recorded a video of him. He also took something out of his shirt pocket, but I didn’t pay close attention to it. I only saw him smearing our car, before leaving the area.”
Her husband had also left his phone in the car when the incident happened so she couldn’t reach out to him for help.
Emma said that she posted the video on her TikTok to share her horrific experience in an effort to raise awareness and prevent other women out there from becoming a victim.
Take this as a reminder to always remain vigilant and aware of your surroundings and to always lock your car as soon as you enter it.
