SUBANG JAYA: Police have yet to receive any reports related to an alleged disturbance case involving the teen daughters of Philippine superstar Ruffa Gutierrez at a theme park in Subang, which took place on Thursday. Subang Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohamad Azlin Sadari said they have yet to be notified of the incident. “No report was lodged by the victim,” he said when contacted. Gutierrez, who is an actress and former Miss World 2013 runner-up, had on social media claimed that her daughters, Lorin Gabriella, 15 dan Venice Bektas, 14, were harassed by a group of men at the theme park. She had claimed that the men had made lewd comments and even snapped their photos with their smartphones. An ABS-CBN News Manila report had quoted Gutierrez as claiming that she was buying food when the incident occurred. “My friend and I were buying food while my daughters were off to ride the roller-coaster. “My daughters suddenly ran back to me in tears, saying that they were harassed by several ‘old men’ who also snapped their photos,” she explained in her Instagram and Twitter accounts. She also tweeted that the theme park should not have let “creepy men” inside the park. She later uploaded a photo of herself and her daughters, with the caption “You mess with them, you mess with me.” Gutierrez said she had to seek help from the theme park’s security guards to escort them to their vehicle as she feared for their safety. The theme park has since apologised to her via Twitter. Gutierrez, on Instagram Stories, later said that she would not let one incident make her generalise Malaysians and that she would return one day. © New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd
