Harassed

It's quite funny to see how the new female staff who are "pounced" upon by some oogling males in the company. I guess with the halt of new intakes, fresh blood are few and far between.

Today, D was approached by this factory guy who had the nerve to come up all the way to the office floor and ask her the following:

"Do you speak Tamil?"
"No"
"Are you married?"
No answer.
"Why aren't you married?"

She ignored his questions and quickly scrambled to my place for refuge until the "pest" had gone away. Apparently, every time she passes them in the factory (their department is unfortunately in our path to the outside world), the whole bunch of them would fall silent and oogle at her. Recently, it had escalated to them calling her but she keeps her head down and pretends they're calling someone else.

And now this guy took the brave step to come out of his territory to ask her if she's available! Oh, I'm gonna enjoy watching the show to see what's next! Hopefully it happens within the next two weeks.

So Bad!!
And poor girl.. She should perfect the haughty 'who-the-fuck-do-you-think-you-are' look soon enough. With a sharp tongue to match.

Price of beauty I suppose.
(sorry about the earlier cancelled post. My mistake)

I suppose in other countries it would be considered sexual harassment. The moment, he touches her, then it will be considered sexual harassment here. And what is normally done is that it will involve fathers and brothers and male cousins to come "settle" it the Malaysian way.

Imagine going to report this to the police! They'd sooner accuse you of stringing him on in the first place.
