Perak Umno: Act on men who admitted having illicit sex

I read with much disdain the local news of Perak Tengah district councillor Zul Hassan and businessman Fairul Azrim Ismail after they admitted having accepted offers to have sex with Chinese nationals.

Zul, who is facing a corruption charge over a development project at Seri Iskandar in Perak Tengah, had been quoted as saying “what is important is we did not ask for the women. He supplied them to us. If people sedekah (donate), don’t you want to accept the sedekah?”

For both men and women, sex is not dirty. It is only the way that it is practiced that makes it vulgar and disgusting. Worse still these 2 men are Muslims. Islam strictly forbids it and yet they do it.

Sexual intercourse is a means to reproduction of the species. It is apparent at all level of life in this world. The obvious pleasure that happens during sex -- for example, at the time of penetration, erection, or ejaculation can eventually cause a person to gain interest in any sexual activity. Sex itself is not dirty.

The trade of sex itself is a social ill if it is not managed well. Many other countries, even Singapore, has legalized prostitution and the effectiveness of these legalization is that the people are more reluctant to act against society. In these countries it is illegal to solicit for sex. Sex workers are also commonly known as, for women: prostitutes, whores, chicken (the local term), and for men: gigolo and man-whore.

I'm not a prude but I am against the act of partaking in sex solely for sexual pleasure. It is also an insult to women to be "used" in such a manner even if they are willing or being paid for it. I am in total agreement with the Perak UMNO for their stand against such people. We are after all humans and what separates us from the sub-species is that we have the ability to think.
