Jobseeker told to take off blouse

PENANG: A taxi company owner was arrested after he instructed a woman to take off her blouse so that he could see the size of her breasts during a job interview here.

The man told the woman, a housewife in her 20s, that he was looking for a clerk who looked like a model, and that she needed to take off her blouse as part of the interview last Friday.

The woman, who claimed to be under a spell, did as she was told by the man, who is in his 40s. Sources said that as she was leaving the office, he made a “veiled” threat and told her not to tell anyone about the incident. (The Star)
