Francisca Luhong James, former Miss Universe Malaysia, recently ran into the same man who harassed her a year ago.
Francisca recalled the details of her terrifying experience on her Instagram account.

She claimed that the same man harassed her the year before during Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW), while she was waiting for her friends in the Westin Hotel lobby before heading to the Pavillion Shopping Mall for the fashion event.
"I've never told this to the public before, but I think I should now because it's not the first time. What worries me is if he is a stalker," she wrote on Instagram.
Now, almost a year later, on January 17, 2023, she saw him again as she was about to leave the Four Seasons hotel lobby.
"I was at the Four Seasons Hotel today, January 17, 2023. I was on my phone as I exited the lift, heading towards the lobby, about to order my Grab, but as I sat on the lobby sofa, I looked in front of me and saw him again.
"The same person, the same outfit, (with) only a different coloured cloth on his shoulder.”
Fearing for her safety, the beauty queen dashed to a Starbucks in the hotel and called a friend who knew the Four Seasons' director of security.
As she dashed into the coffee chain store, she quickly informed a cashier of her situation, and the cashier informed her that he, too, had entered Starbucks. Francisca was told to sit on the cashier's side, but the harasser noticed what was going on and sat next to her.
"But then, of course, he stood up and walked over to the cashier's side, where he sat directly across from me. So I put my phone up and avoided direct eye contact, but he kept staring at me.
"Not long after that, the director of security arrived, and this lunatic immediately left. They tried to pursue him, but he fled the scene quickly," she wrote in her post.
That must be so scary for her…
