KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Ara Johari is traumatised following an unfortunate incident that took place just after she entertained fans at a concert in Dataran Nilai, Seremban last Sunday.
An unknown man came up to her and grabbed her hand before kissing it. As a result she lodged a police report at the Nilai police station around midnight.
"I'm still in a state of shock after what happened. I thought the man wanted to fist bump me and I decided to reciprocate," said Ara in an interview with Harian Metro Online yesterday.
"But he held my hand tightly and kissed it hard. Luckily he released me from his grip rather quickly."
Former Akademi Fantasia 13 finalist Ara also said that she made the police report to prevent fellow female singers and actresses from failing victim to sexual harassment in public places.
"There are many crazy and sick people these days and we female artistes must be extra vigilant."
