''Hey baby!'' - The Boston Globe

``HEY BABY!"

Ask a man about ``street harassment" and he might mention the homeless guy shaking a change cup near his workplace.

Ask a woman, and the response probably takes a different form, often with tales of men yelling remarks like those above, all reported on Boston streets. Or worse, you may hear stories of men who hiss, grunt, whistle, grope, and stalk.

This kind of incidence happens daily, especially at public transport facilities. If left unchecked it would spiraled into  a behavioral epidemic, which may then be taken by many as NORMAL. Transport professionals and decision makers must act now. Malaysians must recognize that this is happening in our society too.
