Universities Students are Prostituting

AN expose by Kosmo! revealed that some students at a university here are doing more than just studying.

A reporter from the daily who went undercover found out that stories about some female undergraduates selling their bodies in exchange for a good life were indeed true.

The daily interviewed a 22-year-old student who confessed that she was willing to sell herself because she was envious of some of her friends leading extravagant lives.

“Moreover, she admitted that she and six of her friends earned about RM4,000 a month or RM250 for a weekend session,” Kosmo! said.

The student, who claimed to be from a poor family, said she started becoming a call girl when she was in her first year.

The report said what lured her into the “profession” was seeing her friends wearing branded clothes, driving cars, having mobile phones and always having cash in hand.

“I was jealous of seeing them having all that. That was why I became a prostitute like them,” she said.

The third year student said she was initially nervous but her friends introduced her to a pimp.

She said they conducted their “business” at a cheap hotel in the city.

Kosmo! staked out the hotel for two nights and found that it was tightly guarded by about five men who had walkie-talkies with them.

A few men were seen coming in and out of the place driving luxury cars.

The student said the girls would do their “business” on weekends but sometimes had to cut classes when they were needed to service clients on weekdays.

“I quit the trade because my studies suffered and almost got kicked out of campus, aside from the fear of being caught and contracting venereal diseases,” she told the paper.

Is this New and is this News?

Prostitution is the most fashionable and oldest profession in the world.

The world had always been materialistic and pragmatic. To survive in an environment of luxury and comfort, and to procure things beyond the levels of norm, the fastest way is to get it from others or to derive value from your own assets.

Rightly or wrongly, the world goes round and round ... and the earth will continue to go round the sun.

Some said that this is wrong and immoral. Those religious said it is haram and sinful. Some said we should live within our means and that living in poverty is fate or will of God.

There had been no answer to the hypothesis!

yes, it IS wrong and immoral... much so for this reason - to live the good life.

i wouldn't jump to say it is wrong and immoral IF a girl do it out of force or as a last resort, that she has no other choice... eg the girl has to earn money to feed her loved ones... and since she can't find another job, had to resort to this.

anyway though to me what these undergraduates did were wrong and immoral, but if that's what they themselves want to do out of their own free will, who am i to complain.
