"According to police statistics in the ministry's statement, almost 400 foreign women were rescued "from vice" between 2004 and last year.

Fernandez said those figures seemed skewed. She said trafficking of women into Malaysia was a "huge problem" and estimated that thousands were being brought into the country illegally."


malaysia is a 'transit' country, as well as 'destination' country, to a smaller extent, and to even smaller extent, also a 'source' country. unfortunately, i think i deleted the link to the international NGO that compiled this information. :( sorry.

I wish them good luck, but, unfortunatly, I'm sceptic about the effectivity of such bills. Of course, we have to be glad, even if only one of those women or girls are saved from sex slavery, but when we look around we see the same problem in every country, and, no matter haw many laws, this type of crime grows... and grows... Corruption, big money, inadecuated laws, lenient judges, scarce police force, ?. En Europe, one of the biggest brothels is Spain; from north to south and frm east to west, the whole country is prostitution land; women from all over( willingly or not) are brought by the maffias; streets, road sides, flats and show centres are full of them... the police raids them every now and then...if they can get one of the maffia members, three days in jail... the girls can go to work nex day. Maybe its time to slow down in "modern ways of life" and bring back the old morals.
