This is very personal to me and i have not shared this to anyone yet, but i want to make a stand & caution to everyone ( especially for women ) whether old or young.
Yesterday as i was walking home from Taman Bahagia LRT ( only a 5-10 mins ) walk , it was around 7:30 PM and it was sort of dark. Normally when i walk home alone i am extra caution of my surroundings and i will always turn back every 5 minutes to make sure no one was behind me or anything / anyone suspicious.
As i was walking towards the park because its a short cut for me to get home i saw from a distant a very odd looking man bit drunk but during that time at that park I found myself to be the only one at the park surrounding with trees and seriously i nearly peed in my pants being really scared. That old man was just walking briskly in the park every time i turn around he stops and pretend to look at the flowers. So i got suspicious.
I started walking extremely fast with so much fear during that time. And then as i was walking home really fast i saw 3 men walking towards me ( blocking my way so that i could not escape ) I push and push so hard trying my hard to escape but instead one of the men hug me , ROBBED me and touch every part of my body ( i do not wish to name it ) hence molested me ( and there was no one at that park at that time ). Sky was getting dark.
I am sitting in my room with my hands shaking and traumatized beyond fear , i can't even go to office today. I haven't even share this with my kaima @littlenewthings because i am absolutely horrified trembling.
I am here to tell all of you to be extra careful and caution wherever you go ,
- Always make sure you have a safe way home at night whether you get a ride or have somebody meet you;
- Make sure someone always knows where you are going and when you will be back, even if they only have a general
idea it is better than nothing; - Being alone at night is never a good idea when traveling outside. It is always a good idea to go out in a group or at least
with one other person; - Avoid isolated areas at night since that is where you are the most vulnerable. Do not take unnecessary shortcuts at
night that are out of the way and could be potentially dangerous.
Because of safety , Please be extra vigilant and careful!
For now i shall be reminded of this verse.
It must have been a very traumatic experience for you. Yes remember to be extra cautious and please do not take any short cut.
It definitely was but yeah ill get through this slowly but surely.
I'm sorry to hear that. Relieved to read that you are okay now. Take good care and have ample rest.
Thank you !
Hey @chloephuan93, I am sorry to hear this bad news. You are really brave to share about this, I really hope that you can overcome this. Stay strong 💪
If you ever need help, do reach out to us.
Thank you so much!
So sorry to hear this and to took up courage to pen this down to benefit others. i pray for God's comfort to be with you and that you will be healed of your trauma. Hugs to you Chloe 💞
Thank you! Hope it brings awareness to others that the world isn't safe and wherever everyone goes especially to mothers and kids , be extra caution.
Hey @chloephuan93, stay safe out there, get better soon.
Need to get some pepper spray next time.
Thank you!!
Hi @chloephuan93 , I am sorry this is happening to you. What they did to you is disgusting. I had similar experience many years ago and from that moment I learned one important lesson - never go to an isolated place alone and if I have to I must carry a long umbrella or a sturdy long wooden stick as a weapon. Pepper spray was not available at that time. You will feel traumatized for awhile and that's okay. Just make sure reach out to a trusted friend and get help. Take care.
That is what I told her last night too. A long umbrella will help make a lot of difference.
@chloephuan93
Yes it will @littlenewthings . What worked for me was I carried that umbrella and I walked confidently to show a potential attacker that I am not someone they could easily mess up with. But regardless please stay away from isolated places and walk in a group.
Thank you!
Oh my! That’s scary.
Usually when i walk alone at night, i will talk to someone on the phone. It is to make sure that someone know where i am and also hoping that bad people wont dare to do anythg towards me, bcos they will think the person on the phone will immediately call the police if anythg happens to me.
Thank you. be safe
Oh no.... I am glad you are physically okay... I still want to bully you in the future so I still want to sit beside you in future events... hahaha
On a serious note, I hope you will stay strong and not have this incident from stopping you from leaving your home.
thank you!
Oh... please tell me that those buggers didn't take your favourite bag, the with you on Saturday (which you said was bought in Bangkok and I said that that is a Japanese brand).
Nope they didn’t.
Good

Oh my @chloephuan93! I pray that the peace and comfort of God to take over your trauma. His perfect love to drive out all fears from this incident. A divine protection over you wherever you go! Bless you and do share with someone you can trust to get over the incident. I was robbed before and I remember the trauma, what more your incident? Cry over it, if you need. Don't suppress it, invite God in as you process through it, k?
Amen! Thank you!
