HOW ICT IS HELPING MALAYSIAN WOMEN ENJOY THE HIGH LIFESTYLE

Well, well !! This Kosmo Ahad story carried by The Star online of 25 February 2019 reveals how far Malaysians have progressed towards becoming "high income", "tech-savvy", service workers by the year 2020 (oops! postponed to 2024), thanks to information and communications technology (ICT) tools and social media.

Why learn artificial intelligence (AI) and software coding in school, college or university and then hopefully find a decent job to match, when it's so easy to make good moolah without much effort? 

After all, why do an honest day of productive work in a factory, an office, a workshop, a retail store or anything like that where workers are paid peanuts and oh! so 'old school', when with a few taps on one's mobile smartphone, one can earn up to RM6,000 per month for a few hours of unproductive part-time work.

Heck! I never earned that much in a month as a computer service engineer or later as a journalist, despite burning the midnight oil struggling to find the problem with that office minicomputer or speeding all those sleepless nights researching facts to write an article whilst ruining my eyesight and health.

After all, prostitution is one of the oldest services industries around. Easy money, easy life.

Perhaps our neo-liberal and libertarian "New Malaysia" government should legalise prostitution and our Education Ministry introduce a new subject called Sexual Arts into our educational curriculum.

The sexual service industry will help boost tourism and earn much foreign exchange to pay off our RM1 trillion federal government debt, government guarantees and lease commitments to public-private partnerships.

'Mobile prostitution' the next thing for sex workers

KOSMO! Ahad reported that sex workers who are using online platforms to look for custo­mers are earning as much as RM6,000 per month.

Bukit Aman Anti-Vice, Gambling and Secret Societies Division (D7) principal assistant director Senior Asst Comm Datuk Rohaimi Md Isa said this type of sex work was called "mobile prostitution" as the activity was not confined to one place.

He said the sex workers were women in their 20s to 30s who hold professional jobs or were university students.

Many of these women wanted more money for a luxurious lifestyle.

According to SAC Rohaimi, pimps would advertise the women through social media and they would vet the customers first before allowing them to meet up.

"This vetting process is important to ensure the identities of the women are not leaked, because most of the women are only involved in prostitution on a part-time basis," he said.

He said the "mobile prostitutes" also did not use cheap hotels to meet clients.

This made it difficult for enforcement officers to trace their activities.
