sigh. I’ve no regret to take up ‘Gender Studies’ as my minor studies in University Malaya throughout my three years of degree pursuing there. I know so much of Human Rights and how oppressed women were (and still, are) and how hopeless it can be when it comes to issue like ’sexual harassment’ and ‘domestic violence’.
I’ve just encountered one, and have blogged about it. The next thing i’m going to write in order to release my dissatisfaction is my encounter with our beloved policemen whoare here to protect the grassroots (they do, dont you think so? )
I walked into Damansara’s police station 2 hours ago at 10.15pm, after my exam paper in UM.
When i mentioned how this guy harrassed me through phone while he’s masturbating, the respectful policeman was smiling all the way and asked ”oh, with sound effect as well?”
I dont find it amusing at all and i supposed he might think this is something ’shameful’. Well, gladi was still able topaint himthe whole scenario and successfullylodge the 2nd police report of my life. At least, he’s helpful enough to make some calls to the headquarter as well as the KelanaJaya police station to find out who’s the person-in-charge for sexual harassment cases.
Good thing was, the other policeman told me ‘i got harassed because i’m beautiful’ (hmmm?) but the worst thing was, they made me to go to Kelana Jaya Police station at 11.15pm to speak to another Inspector.
Reached, waited, and waited, AND WAITED. so it’s 12am midnight! The Inspector came out to see me and told me to come back the next day as he has too many cases to handle currently. Sigh. It’s Labor Day tomorrow, not that i need to rest but i’m quite sure they will put me to ‘wait’ again.
Anyway there were really some lil small incidents like the policeman was busy photostating papers while telling me to ‘wait’; These bunch of policemen told me the solution to this case is ‘DONT ANSWER THE PHONE‘ and also ‘I’M SURE IT’S PRANK CALL FROM YOUR FRIENDS’ — you know .. it’s all craps.
Well i dont understand why are women the ‘victims’ to these kind of cases. I mean, dont tell me there’s no warning or anything can be done to these kind of perverts while they are happily disturbing others, whilst the victims (women) can only choose to be silent or have to ‘run’ away by ignoring the calls.
I was told this will not fall under sexual harrassment cases as the guy did not touch me physically. Isnt this a loophole in our Malaysia Legitimate System? I mean, what other ways i can sue him if he keeps disturbing me? The only relatedAct is only Criminal Law and it will be inspected under this Act.
or, i have to wait till he comes to TOUCH me and hence i have proof that he has sexually harassed me??
what the …
Sigh. Can anyone do anything about it? or tell me what to do?
