Sex crimes everyday! Do we care?
KUALA LUMPUR - Sex crimes in Malaysia are on the rise.
Forget about the statistics. Just read the papers and watch the news on TV - they are happening everyday.
Sadly, many of the victims are minors.
In case you missed, here are some RECENT cases:
In AMPANG, six secondary school students became sex slaves to a taxi driver for almost a year.
The man, in his 50s, took them to his house in Taman Muda instead of taking them home. He raped his victim, filmed the act (presumably with the help of an accomplice) and threatened to make the videos public if they told anyone about it.
He would later call the girls, aged 15 to 17, whenever he wanted sexual favours and use the recording to threaten them.
Two of the victims, from the same school in Pandan Indah, lodged their reports on May 20 and the third victim reported on May 29.
Police are looking for the other three victims as well as the suspect's accomplice.
The taxi driver has been remanded for seven days until Monday at the Ampang Jaya district police station.
In SELAYANG, a two-year-old boy, believed to have been sexually and physically abused died minutes after he was admitted to the Sela yang hospital.
Hazrieq Naufal Abdullah was rushed to the hospital by his mother at 2.45pm on Thursday after her son was found unconscious in the house.
It is learnt the deceased was staying with his 23-year-old mother and her 25-year-old boyfriend in an apartment in Taman Bamboo, Jinjang.
The doctor who attended to the victim lodged a police report at the Selayang hospital police station at about 4pm.
Initial police investigation revealed there were bruises on the little boy’s face, body and private part.
The mother, who works in a private marketing firm and her boyfriend, an employee at a municipal council, have been detained to facilitate investigation.
Raped before hubby and daughter
In TANGKAK, four robbers not only took away cash and valuables during a house break-in but raped the owner’s 50-year-old wife in full view of the man and his teenage daughter.
Johor police said the robbers, believed to be Indonesians, broke into the house in Kampung Sengkang, near Bukit Gambir, at about 3.30am on Tuesday.
The robbers, armed with parang, forced themselves into the house while the couple and four of their children were asleep.
They tied their victims before ransacking and taking cash amounting to RM1,300 and jewellery worth about RM5,000.
One of the robbers decided to force himself upon the woman, aged about 50, in front of her husband and their 13-year old daughter.
In PENANG, sex syndicates have resorted to offering China dolls to customers via multimedia message service (MMS) to evade the constant raids by the authorities.
The messages contain images of scantily clad girls from China, their age, sex services menu, working hours and contact numbers of the pimps.
Once a deal is struck, sources said, the women would be sent to a hotel to meet up with the customer, with each customer charged at least RM200 per session.
A report said the syndicates could no longer afford to lose their China dolls after spending thousands to bring them into the country.
A check with the police and the state Immigration Department showed that at least six anti-vice raids were carried out over the past two months on hotels in Anson Road and Macalister Road, and entertainment and karaoke outlets in Pulau Tikus. Even gay joints were not spared.
The police are thinking about “disconnecting” the handphone lines used by these sex syndicates.
They are working with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and telecommunication companies to use this option to cripple the sex trade.
Sex crimes happening everyday
All kinds of sex crimes are sprouting up almost everyday.
With such reports appearing daily in the media, the question arise: What is happening to our society today?
Is it due to the country's fast-paced development which makes a lot of parents put career above family, therefore paying less time with their children?
The effect? Children feel bored, unloved and useless and try to find fun and affection among friends and the Internet - and often end up with bad company.
Could these things be happening because of loose supervision by parents, teachers, local authorities and, to some extent, the government (which controls media, radio and TV content) ?
Sex crimes could also be caused by the hesitation of the victims to report the matter to the police, thinking that their reputation could be ruined.
Or did we ignore all of this by thinking: "This will never happen to me or my family members. So, it is not my - or our - concern to care about the victims." — Malaysian Mirror

BalasPadamSad to see the increasing of crime rates in our country. The police should work harder to beat crime so that the people's safety will be ensured.
BalasPadamIt is very depressing to see sex crime rates is going up. We are constantly worried about our spouse and children's safety.
BalasPadamHope that the police will do what is needed to reduce the crime rates. The victims should also cooperate with the police so that the violators will be caught the soonest possible.
BalasPadamDiharapkan pihak polis akan berusaha menangani jenayah dalam negara supaya rakyat boleh hidup aman dan selamat.
BalasPadamMemang susah hati melihat kes jenayah semakin meningkat. Kita mesti menyuruh anak dan bini kita supaya berjaga-jaga. Lebih baik jangan keluar malam ataupun keluar seorang diri.
