Cases of indecent exposure by
mentally-deranged men terrorised many women and career girls who
come early to their offices and become the latest targets.
Such happenings had caused
women to request for security guards to be placed at buildings
in the capital.
Some of the major shopping and
office complexes have their own security guards but a few of
them still do not employ any.
A petite young woman who works
at the first floor of a shopping centre in the capital said she
has to come early to the office everyday as her husband needs to
start his work early too.
She said yesterday a
well-dressed man of 30 walked outside a shop specialising in
wedding and women's attire which opens much later in the
morning.
The man pretended to do
window-shopping at the boutique and she could clearly see him as
the shop is located opposite her office.
"Suddenly the man turned
to face me and started unzipping his trousers.
"I was shocked and
pretended to phone someone while pointing to the man.
"It worked and the man ran
away," she said, adding that it was the second time the
same man did that.
The first time, the man did not
face her but his action clearly indicated what he was doing.
Cases of indecent exposure by
men on women had also been reported by the Borneo Bulletin in
the past.
The woman added that at one
time a man came to her office pretending to order some
materials.
"I usually locked the
office door and only opened it when my office mates arrived.
However, a man came pretending he wanted to order something.
"He offered me $100 for
sex and I shouted at him that I am not that kind of woman.
"He then showed his wallet
and asked me how much I want," she said.
She said the man - who looked
like high on drugs - ran away after she threatened to call the
police.
