| MALACCA, MALAYSIA: Police rescued three teenagers believed to have been forced into vice when they busted a syndicate offering the sexual services of secondary school students. State CID chief Asst Comm Mohd Adnan Abdullah said seven suspects, including a woman in her 20s who is believed to be the pimp, were arrested in an operation on Monday. "Besides the female pimp, police also detained another woman and her male companion as they are believed to be involved in the syndicate," he told reporters yesterday. "We believe the syndicate was offering the services of the students to clients for between RM60 and RM80. "Four men were also detained as they are believed to have sought the services of the girls," he added. Based on initial investigations, he said the syndicate had been operating from a hotel in the city since May. ACP Mohd Adnan said the suspects would be charged under the Child Act 2001 and could face a maximum prison sentence of 15 years and a RM50,000 fine or both upon conviction. - The Star/Asia News Network | ||||||||

:: Three female students rescued from prostitution syndicate ::
:: College students resorting to prostitution to finance studies ::
KOTA KINABALU - A state assembly member has urged the Higher Education Ministry to investigate claims that some students of higher learning institutions (IPT) have resorted to prostitution to earn money to finance their studies.
Tanjung Batu assembly member Hamisa Samat said the ministry should view the matter seriously, saying it not only tarnished the image of such institutions but also affect the students' future.
"We hope that there will be prompt actions by the ministry because this issue has been raised before and now it has come to light again.
"The issue of IPT students resorting to prostitution should be addressed because if nothing is done, it could become worse," she said in a statement.
Prostitution to help meet rising costs
Upko wanita chief Dr Jaina Sintian revealed at the party's convention on Thursday in Kota Kinabalu that there were IPT students who resorted to prostitution to pay the cost of their studies.
She said that most of those involved in the activity were students from broken families.
Hamisa, who is Kalabakan Wanita Umno chief said if left unchecked, the problem could lead to other social issues such as baby dumping, HIV and Aids and drug abuse.
"I call on all quarters to be open minded about this and not hastily make denials because we all know the challenges these students have to deal with, like costly food, accommodation, transportation, books, computers, Internet bills and so on," she said.

:: SUFIAH YUSOF, SHILPA LEE; WHO'S WRONG?

With the intellect to win a place at Oxford at the age of 13, Sufiah Yusof should, by now, be carving out a high-flying career for herself.
But a decade after hitting the headlines thanks to her remarkable aptitude for mathematics - and days after her father was jailed for sexually assaulting two teenagers - Miss Yusof has been exposed as a £130-an-hour prostitute.
The revelation completes a sad fall from grace for the family who were hailed the brightest in Britain after Miss Yusof and two of her siblings won university places by the time they were 16.
Calling herself Shilpa Lee, 23-year-old Miss Yusof advertises her body on an internet sex site and operates out of a back street flat in Salford. Yesterday, a friend of the former child prodigy said of her downfall: "It is all desperately heartbreaking.
"With her amazing brain she should be able to make money any way she wants. But instead her life spiralled completely out of control.
"Sufiah has suffered so many knocks in her life. I just hope she can drag herself out of this life she has got herself into.
"She is such a good person and deserves a much better life than this. Her gift really has been a curse."
On the website, she describes herself as a '"very pretty size 8, 32D bust and 5ft 5in tall - available for booking every day from 11am to 8pm".
sufiah yusof
She adds that she is a "sexy, smart student" who prefers "older gentlemen". When an undercover reporter visited her at the flat, Miss Yusof stripped naked and gyrated on a bed as she reeled off her list of services.
Miss Yusof was pictured as a child smiling innocently outside St Hilda's College, Oxford, after winning her place to study maths in 1997. But she ran away three years later, aged 15, claiming her parents had placed her under intolerable pressure to succeed.
She was found by police 12 days later working as a waitress at a Bournemouth internet cafe but refused to return to her parents, who had given up their jobs to educate their five children at home.
Miss Yusof was taken in by a foster family and shortly afterwards sent a searing email to her parents, documenting the "living hell" she said her father - a private tutor - had created.
She wrote: "I've finally had enough of 15 years of physical and emotional abuse."
She accused her "controlling and bullying" father of forcing her to work in the cold to aid concentration and added that she never wanted to see him again.
In 2004, she married trainee lawyer Jonathan Marshall, but the couple divorced 13 months later.
In January, the Daily Mail revealed that her father Farooq had been remanded in custody after admitting sexually assaulting two girls, both aged 15.
Appearing under his real surname of Khan, he was jailed for 18 months at Coventry Crown Court last week after a judge heard how he had groped the two girls when he was home tutoring them at maths.
He had previously been jailed for three years in 1992 for his part in a £1.5million mortgage swindle involving several family members.
Yesterday the News of the World described how Miss Yusof was armed with three mobile phones as she welcomed an undercover reporter who was posing as a client at her flat.
The once strict Muslim stripped out of her tiny skirt, leather boots, tight T- shirt and red matching underwear as she detailed her £130-an-hour rate.
She claimed to be studying for a masters degree in economics on a part-time two-year course in London and added: "I've got exams coming up and I'm thinking, 'Oh my God!'."

Yesterday, her mother, Halimahton, 51, a scientist, said she had no idea her daughter was working as a prostitute.
Speaking from her home in Coventry, Mrs Yusof said: "I didn't know anything about that. I am not in touch with Sufiah any more. I have got no comment."
Miss Yusof's brother, Iskander, aged 12, and sister Aisha, 16, started at Warwick University in 1998, making them the youngest brother and sister to study together at university at the time.

:: malaysian genius become a prostitute ::
The story of the 'prodigy gone wrong' is always a subject for grim and envious fascination - the obsessed parents, the hothousing, the weird childhood undergraduate career, the dysfunctional later life - but the tale of Sufiah Yusof is bizarre even by the standards of the genre.
"Genius on the game," announced a Sunday newspaper. "For sad Sufiah the daily equation she has to solve is simply sex equals £130."
Sunday's News of the World went on to relate how Miss Yusof, admitted to Oxford University at the age of 13, had taken to hiring herself out over the internet as a prostitute - or "Asian escort" as she termed it - at the rate of £130 per hour.
Estranged from her family, she had adopted the working name of Shilpa Lee and set up shop in a backstreet flat in Salford, Manchester.
The article illustrated Sufiah's precipitate fall from grace by juxtaposing covertly-taken photographs of her in the nude with one of her as a young, smiling girl - all innocence and optimism in mortar board and gown.
The epose was the final straw for Sufiah's mother, Halimahton, a devout Muslim.
Yesterday, she left the family home in Coventry to arrange her divorce from her husband Farooq. The couple's marriage was already under intolerable strain following his guilty plea last week on charges of indecently assulting two 15-year-old girls while working as a personal tutor.
The Yusof family's humiliation was complete.
"We want nothing to do with my dad," said Sufiah's brother Isaac Abraham, 26, speaking on the doorstep. "He was so abusive to us. That's why Sufiah had to get away."
Ten years before, Farooq Yusof had been lauded as a pioneer in hothousing - the intensive personal tutoring of young children.
The subject of his experiments in education were his five children. Early life for them was a regime of spartan intensity.
The temperature in the family home was always low to ensure their attention, morning prayers were followed by stretching and breathing exercises.
Television, pop music and anything else that might lead to "shallow thinking" was banned. Fresh air, said Yusof, was essential for a fresh mind.
Punching helped as well.
"It depended on whatever mood he was in," said Abraham. "He used to wake us up in the middle of the night by punching our faces. It was awful what he put us through."
Born in Pakistan, and considered a prodigy himself, Farooq basked in the publicity that followed Sufiah's admission to St Hilda's College, Oxford.
There were inevitable comparisons with Ruth Lawrence and other precocious achievers, but Yusof stressed that his children's achievements were the result of his teaching rather than their brains.
Still, Sufiah was the star, the only one to reach Oxbridge. The problem for Farooq was that she had not only a fine mind but one of her own.
Although younger than her contemporaries, Sufiah took part in the campaign against tuition fees and joined a number of university societies, even attending the odd meeting of the Socialist Workers Party.
While her father was promising "more Sufiahs", as if his daughter was some kind of production-line model, she was growing up.
Eventually, in 2000 she rebelled, running away from Oxford. Two weeks later, she was found in Bournemouth but refused to be reunited with her parents. A bitter email to them followed, describing her childhood as a "living hell".
"I've finally had enough of 15 years of physical and emotional abuse," she wrote, claiming that she had twice tried to kill herself at the age of 11.
Her anguish had been met with the nickname Crybaby Soo-Fi. "Maybe the public will have a different view of you as devoted parents. I'm not Crybaby Soo-Fi any more."
The publicity turned ugly. Farooq, it emerged, had a history of dishonesty. Jailed for three years for mortgage fraud in 1992, he had also served time in borstal.
Sufiah returned to Oxford but her early promise was beginning to dissipate. It was then that she met Jonathan Marshall, a law student.
The two fell in love and married in 2004. Jonathan had already converted to Islam. He was 24 and she was 19. The marriage lasted less than two years.
Speaking yesterday from Saudi Arabia, where he works for a leading firm of City solicitors, Mr Marshall explained: "The reason we split was that I became more observant and Sufiah became less so.
"That took her in the wrong direction, away from the direction in which I wanted to go. The teachings of Islam are fundamental to your everyday life, so when paths diverge in that respect it is a major issue.
"She was confused, really. She didn't know quite what she wanted. She wasn't ready to settle down. Basically, she wanted to be a student.
"She wasn't particularly extrovert. She wasn't a difficult person to live with. We simply had different goals, different ideas of where we wanted to be. There were, to my knowledge, no affairs or anything. I never considered such a thing, simply because of the religious basis of our marriage."
Mr Marshall said there was little contact between Sufiah and her family in her final year at Oxford but some bridges were mended when they attended the couple's Islamic wedding ceremony.
He did not gain the impression during the marriage that Sufiah had been subjected to physical abuse by her father as a child. Psychological abuse was another matter.
Sufiah completed her course but failed to take her final exams, ostensibly because of her health. When Mr Marshall secured a job with one of the 'magic circle' law firms the couple moved to London and then, briefly to Singapore.
It was there that they decided to split. On returning to London, Sufiah was admitted to London University's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) to read economics.
Despite their split in August 2005, Mr Marshall supported her for eight months before taking up a job with his firm in Saudi Arabia. He has remarried and has two children.
"We agreed that I would assist her for a specific time. I felt a moral obligation to help her out while she was still at university. She wanted to concentrate on university and I agreed she should."
Speaking of the weekend's disclosures, he said: "I am completely shocked. It's very sad, actually. It's very shocking that someone can use themself in such a way. I can't fathom why she would do it - especially someone in her situation. Despite the problems with her family she had many advantages which other people don't have.
"It's a particular shock - her coming from a Muslim background. To see pictures of somebody doing that - somebody I knew very closely - it makes me think how did she get to that stage. Quite frankly she knows well enough what she should and should not do.
"My view is that people can blame childhood to a certain extent, but there also comes a point where you have to take responsibility for your own actions.
"She had her advantages: she had someone willing to support her while she was at university. One newspaper told me that it had offered a substantial amount for her story. Personally, I'd rather sell my story than sell myself."
Mr Marshall has no way of contacting his former wife now - except through the mobile number posted on the website on which she advertised her services.
"I really do hope she manages to get her life back together," he said. "She was obviously very able and it's sad that she is not able to use that talent."
Yet, if Sufiah Yusof is to be believed, she has not yet abandoned her academic career - she told the News of the World's undercover reporter that she was studying for a master's degree in economics and had her exams coming up. Even now, she still has something to prove.

:: MALAYSIA: SCHOOLGIRL PROSTITUTES ALARM MINISTRY ::
Dec 17, 1996
Prostitution among Penang schoolgirls, immoral behaviour of factory workers and homosexual relationships between youths have been cited by government officials as signs of moral decay which need to be addressed. The Education Ministry said it would investigate claims that some female students in Penang were involved in prostitution after a member of the state Executive Council identified 13 girls aged between 13 and 17 who were offering sex for money "to keep up with the lifestyle of richer peers".
In Selangor, the Chief Minister, Muhammad Taib, said factory owners should start to play an active role in curbing moral decay among workers. He said that among 5,000 cases of immoral activities uncovered by the authorities, including co-habitation and pregnancy out of wedlock, 70 per cent of those involved were Malays. Most Malays are Muslims and prohibited by religious laws from sex outside marriage.
In Kuala Lumpur, the Health Minister, Chua Jui Meng, said a study of youths aged between 15 and 21 showed 20 per cent had experienced homosexual relationships. Describing the statistics as "alarming", he said there was a need for an education campaign on AIDS. -- BY IAN STEWART, SOURCES EAST ASIA

:: 3 Malaysian girls rescued from prostitution racket ::

::Sex toys, prostitutes openly being peddled by students in Malaysian University::
Kuala Terengganu (Malaysia), Apr 10, 2010: A Malaysian student, Amrie Amanah, has alleged that sex toys are being peddled into the Malaya University by a group of seniors.
Amanah, who recently graduated with a degree in Information Technology at the university, said that the sex toys, including anal beads, dildos, vibrators and sex dolls, were being sold for as low as RM50 in secret transactions often conducted outside the university’s compound.
“I knew of their activities some two years ago, but was not bold enough to come forward as I was still a student then. I decided to expose their wrongdoings once I graduated,” The Star quoted Amanah, as saying.
“The seniors have links with other universities in the East Coast and they even arrange for sexual partners for a sum,” he added.
The 26-year-old further revealed that the leader of the “syndicate” is from Perak, currently pursuing his Masters.
“They have links with other universities and I believe they even operate a prostitution ring catering exclusively for undergraduates,” he said.
“It’s a well-organised syndicate where all arrangements are made for students seeking sexual pleasure anytime,” he added. (ANI)

DEFINITION OF THE PROSTITUTION
DEFINITION OF THE PROSTITUTION 1
‘To prostitute’ is derived from a composition of two Latin words: (preposition) pro and (verb) statuere. A literal translation therefore would be: ‘to expose’, ‘to place up front’.In most cultures the prostitutes (the persons who sell sexual servicies) are socially stigmatized; their customers less so. While prostitution is legal or tolerated in some cultures, it is illegal or socially discouraged in others. Motivations for suppression can vary significantly, from basic moral repugnance to concerns about the effects on society and on those who practice it, as well as whether it is an exploitative practice .
Prostitution is defined as the act of engaging in sexual activity in exchange for money or goods.
We can know the prostitute is a person who performs sexual activity for payment .It also call as person who is perceived as engaging in sexual activity with many people. A person who does, or offers to do, an activity for money, despite personal dislike or dishonour; To perform sexual activity for money; To make another person Exchange of money for sexual favors. an immoral woman, especially a prostitu
Prostitution definition from dictionary (noun) are a women who engages in sexual intercourse for money, whore or harlot OR a man who engages in sexual acts for money OR a person who willingly uses his or her talent or ability in a base and unworthy way, usually for money. If it’s define from dictionary (verb-used with object) are to sell or offer (oneself) as a prostitute OR to put to any base or unworthy use like ‘to prostitute one’s talents’.
What is the definition of prostitution, 2
Prostitution definition from dictionary (noun) are a women who engages in sexual intercourse for money, whore or harlot OR a man who engages in sexual acts for money OR a person who willingly uses his or her talent or ability in a base and unworthy way, usually for money. If it’s define from dictionary (verb-used with object) are to sell or offer (oneself) as a prostitute OR to put to any base or unworthy use like ‘to prostitute one’s talents’.
Otherwise, prostitute definition can explain that prostitution is a person who receives payment for sexual intercourse or other sexual acts, generally as a regular occupation. Although, usually a prostitute refers to a women offering. Also, it define that prostitution are a women has sexual intercourse with a man who supports her financially but doesn’t and a post live with her, then she is called a mistress, and is again not normally considered a prostitute.
However, prostitution is not an easily defined behavior. While a consensus on a definition of prostitution is impossible, most sociologists agree on several points that ; first, it’s sexual act is either money or other material goods exchanged at or near the time of the act. Second, the relationship between the provider and the recipient of sexual services involves neither love nor affection. Three, because there is an exchange of services for material reward, prostitution is either a full or part time vocation. Furthermore, prostitutes are not necessarily female nor adult : male and female prostitute of various ages provide sexual services for both the opposite and the same sex.
