We all know that feeling of sitting in the car at a red light, just waiting to get going.
But for Aqma, that moment quickly turned into a weird, uncomfortable encounter when a man on a motorcycle started acting creepy.
Instead of letting it slide, she decided to share what happened on TikTok to shed light on street harassment and hopefully stop it from happening to others.
An unsettling moment at the intersection
In the video shared by Aqma (@aqmadeen), the man on the motorcycle is seen staring at her with an unsettling smile.
What made it even worse was when the man stuck his tongue out while looking at the camera she was holding, increasing her discomfort.
Aqma was simply relaxing, enjoying some durian crepe when the man, dressed in brown, took it upon himself to approach her.
“Look at him, he’s asking for my phone number while I’m just chilling,” she recalled.
“My friend beside me was also asked for my number.”
When things took a disturbing turn
But things didn’t stop there.
Aqma claimed the man had been holding his genitals while asking for her phone number.
Let him go viral, he doesn’t know he’s going to be viral. If you keep harassing me like that, I’ll cut you off,” she firmly responded, making it clear that this behaviour wouldn’t be tolerated.
In another post, Aqma acted out the inappropriate gesture the man made toward her.
He rode his motorcycle next to me, holding his private parts. He knocked on my window, and I looked. What could I do? I just recorded it,” she explained.
Aqma’s decision to share the incident wasn’t about seeking attention; it was about raising awareness and warning women about similar situations.
I recorded this and shared it so it doesn’t continue. This is not something we should normalise,” she stated.
“Imagine if it happened to a woman with a weak heart, she could never leave the house after that.”
Her message was simple: this kind of behaviour is not acceptable and shouldn’t be brushed off as normal.
Please, it’s not funny. Maybe my way of telling it seems funny, but it’s to raise awareness that this is not normal. Ladies, be careful, lock your car doors. And guys, don’t be so shameless. Do you think I’m what?”
The video quickly went viral and caught the attention of social media users.
Many expressed their concern and offered advice, urging Aqma to take extra precautions, like installing dark-tinted windows.
While the support was overwhelming, there were also skeptical comments, with some male users dismissing Aqma’s experience or questioning why she had shared the video.
