A few nights back I was at Gurney Plaza for a special dinner at Dragon-i. I love their siew long pao (heavenly dumpling with meat and soup inside) and I really like Gurney plaza because it reminds me of KL. Except, something happened.
It was about 9.20 pm at night. I needed to buy something from Parkson. Exiting Dragon-i Ben and I headed straight towards the escalator.
From a distance I saw some young girls clad in school sports-T and mid thigh shorts. They were really young girls and Ben commented later they had UPSR books (12 years old). There were a gaggle of them with a few lagging behind as we pass them.
Then there was a man, a cleaner dressed in navy blue uniform holding a mop. He looked about late 20s to mid 30s. Only the stream of prepubescent girls separated us. Then something cought my eye, or rather my ears.
He was whistling at the girls. The 1st group of girls, frightened quickly walked away. Moving on to his next target, the few still oblivious and lagging behind got the same treatment. And they too walked briskly away head looking at the floor, cheeks turning red. Perhaps not to draw attention to themselves.
All this happen in front of my eyes and I was shocked. My jaw dropped but my feet kept walking. As we we were elevated by the escalator, I turned behind. He leaned over his mop and continued to trail the girls with his eyes.
My heart was boiling. They were young innocent girls with barely any budding blossoms and in no way out to get the attention of any opposite sex.
No, I did not confront him, perhaps I should have but not all of us are born with balls with the same density. I did the next thing I could. I filed an official complaint at the information center.
Some one of authority must know of this. Gurney Plaza is one of my favorite haunts and it's suppose to be a pleasant experience being there. I hope they will take action as such acts is not funny in any country and it may be a precursor to more serious problems.
Have you encountered anything like this? Do share and what were your actions?
