Mystery Caller Targeting Banks For 'Honey'
By Ignatius Stephen

Bandar Seri Begawan - Most people call the bank for money. A prank caller in the Brunei capital is targeting banks here for "Honey".

For the past day or so a mystery caller has been ringing up the female staff in some banks in Brunei calling them "Honey" and making annoying propositions to them. And if the girls are not amiable he turns nasty pouring out a torrent of abuse.

"He can also be nasty and say dirty words and use suggestive language," said a female bank staff.

"I slammed the phone down. When he called again a male staff answered. He talked to the man and managed to get his father's name," she said.

The caller seemed to be young perhaps 19 or so, the bank staff said. He called the Kuala Belait branch first and asked her by name, said a staff. But what was worrying was that he knew the name of the female staff as he would ask the telephone operator the specific name of the victim.

There have also been instances of other young women driving alone at night being victimised. A young woman who drove out alone one night last week was followed by a strange car.

There were two young men in the vehicle who stopped outside the cafe where she had an appointment. When she came out later they followed her. Frightened she returned to the cafe and told the cafe management about it.

When the cafe staff confronted the two men they said they were private detectives. When the staff threatened to make a police report they drove off. Brunei, although largely crime free, has a history of perverts who stalk young girls at night. Peeping tom incidents also happen. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
