kt notes:
Pimps and prostitution are common in most if not every country, and in some countries the latter, prostitution, is a legal activity/occupation (European/Australian/Yank countries named it 'sex work' and prostitutes 'sex workers').
BUT 'forced' sex services or sex slavery is not common and a crime I least expect in Malaysia. The description of 'heinous' regarding the crime is most appropriate. The culprits must be severely punished, though I believe there would be also a Vietnamese connection, perhaps not in Malaysia.
And I hope such wicked 'activities' have nothing to do with the “incredible sense of sexual desire” that the wife cannot fulfil for their lusty husbands.

Sex-related commercial activities involve a spectrum from outright slavery to freely chosen participants.
ReplyDeletePolice who handle such crimes in Penang are quite familiar with the issues - Penang being a major international tourist destination before Covid-19.
True sex slavery, physically prevented from escape or under threat of severe violence, is not common in Malaysia.
However, there are many more who are theoretically not coerced, but are highly dependent on their "Pimp" or have few other economic options.
Then again, there are those who quite willingly participate in the "Profession" as it offers a wothwhile Cost vs Benefit trade-off.
The High-End operatives dress up and look like Business Executives, and drive nice cars, you wouldn't guess their office is a Bedroom , not a Boardroom.
