SIN CITY KL: Bukit Bintang becoming Malaysia’s Bangkok-at-night

SIN CITY KL: Bukit Bintang becoming Malaysia’s Bangkok-at-night
We fight tooth and nail about being pious. We even decide to take those who do not pray to court. We scream religion at the slightest opportunity. But why are we also blind to what is becoming of Bukit Bintang?
We are even so afraid that Muslims will be confused and so we threaten followers of other religions about how they can name their God or where they can put up their faith’s symbols.
But in Bukit Bintang you will easily suspect whether it is becoming a destination of international prostitution. Period. Go and find out yourselves, readers, if you still do not believe.
Is what is happening in Bukit Bintang not a threat and insult to a country that prides to the world as a nation that does not even allow female fans to be hugged by male pop singers?
Who does not know that the streets in Bukit Bintang are teeming with flesh trade?
Are you saying that the teams of tourist police who patrol the streets on foot and in patrol cars are blind to the overwhelming presence of scantily clad women of all kinds of nationalities stalking the streets?
Try standing outside a restaurant alone at night – even as early as 8 pm and see what happens to you. If you do not get a woman wafting her eyes at you, and attempting to entice you, then this Letter is a bluff.
Or try walking down the streets and if a tout does not whistle at you or walk beside you and whisper “young girls sir”, you probably did not pass off as a tourist but appeared more like a pious preacher.
No. This must stop. The government owes the nation of law abiding citizens a duty to uphold the very sanctity that the politicians keep preaching and policy makers relentlessly enforce on citizens.
The law keepers do not have to wait for a police report to act. Their men and women on duty also have a moral duty to report what they see. Otherwise they are not fit to wear the crown on their badge of honor.
Please Honorable Prime Minister, do not let out streets to become the Bangkok of Malaysia. At least, the Thais do not pretend to don the holier-than-thou mask.
Let not Malaysia in desperate need of the tourist dollar, allow foreign nationals to peddle their sex wares on our streets so brazenly without any regard to our laws and decency.
And in any case, why are there so many massage outlets – perhaps even far outnumbering the number of eateries in Bukit Bintang? And the service providers again are not locals but foreigners.
By the way, where are our champions of Islam? The NGOs who never hesitated to protest anything and everything that they suspected affects one’s religion and followers? Is the way Bukit Bintang is turning out to be not a mockery of the entire government efforts to make our nation a people of values?
Or are we saying that it is okay for foreign women and men to prostitute themselves here in Malaysia as long as Malaysians (and Malaysian Muslims) are not the patrons? And that it is okay to allow such activities as long as the money keeps flowing in?
What have our Members of Parliament to say to what is becoming of Bukit Bintang? Or are they too busy fighting to keep their posts as politicians and their incomes streaming in?
If your argument is that it is difficult to fight the sins of city life, then be more humble and bravely prudent like Singapore and go ahead and legalize a strictly supervised prostitution practice.
It is high time then that the heads of religions convened, discussed and registered their un-condescending stand to the government and the law keepers. They cannot say that their faith building is good enough to be kept within the four walls of their centers of worship alone.
Heads of all religions must speak up for the goodness of the faithful when those in power choose to live by the principle of the three monkeys, i.e. see no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil. - MAILBAG
