An unsettling incident occurred at Golden Triangle2, Bayan Lepas when a man wearing a helmet entered a business premises where several women were on duty. According to accounts, the man closed the roller shutter from inside, creating a tense atmosphere, before making inappropriate and sexually suggestive remarks toward the workers.

“I just want to have sex”

In the CCTV footage uploaded to r/pulaupinang on Reddit, the suspect could be heard saying that he meant no danger or harm, but he just needed five minutes to relieve himself sexually and demanded one woman to go to one area in the store.

The women, caught off guard by the sudden intrusion, were left shocked and unsettled. The man tried to touch one of the women but was pushed away. Fortunately, the situation did not escalate further, as the man eventually left the premises without physical confrontation.
