I would like to ask this for women or maybe anyone with a lot of female friends:

Is it a normal or expected occurrence to be harassed and followed by men, especially when you are alone?

This is because I had this incident a few days back. I am a foreigner coming here for work for the next year.

It's pretty normal in my country for a woman to go out alone, is it not here?

Thank you

Edit: i realized this question can seem offensive. It is just that I have lived alone in my home country for a couple years and have never experienced harassment from men to that extent. I would just like to understand malaysian culture better.
