Man Sexually Harasses MP Rara Over The Lawmaker Wearing A Raincoat & Baju Kurung
According to the man, seeing the Bentong member of parliament (MP) "so wet" made him instantly "horny".
Recently, Bentong member of parliament (MP) Young Syefura Othman was sexually harassed by a man on Facebook over her "wet" raincoat
Young Syefura, who is famously known by her nickname Rara, was surveying a flooded area in Bentong, Pahang on 14 February, while wearing a raincoat over her baju kurung, a traditional Malay attire.
According to a video uploaded on the DAP politician's Facebook page, Rara was visiting an area on the old Kuala Lumpur-Bentong road that has been severely affected by flash floods, together with Natural Resources, Environment, and Climate Change Deputy Minister Datuk Seri Huang Tiong Sii.
While Rara was covered from head to toe, the sight of the 33-year-old parliamentarian drenched in rain was apparently too much for the man
The man left his comment under the video, detailing how he wished to sexually assault the female lawmaker as seeing Rara "so wet" made him instantly "horny". He has since deleted his comment.
A screenshot of the now-deleted comment was later posted on Twitter, where it caught Rara's attention.
A disappointed Rara then took to her Twitter account to share that she was sexualised regardless of how traditionally she was dressed
Rara's statement showed that clothing does not matter in the topic of sexual harassment.
