MALAYSIA - FOR only RM5 ($2), an adolescent gets to experience sex with his schoolmates. This was the shocking revelation recorded by counsellors who organised a youth camp for problematic secondary school students in Selangor recently.

In a front-page report in Metro Ahad, a 14-year-old student known as "Andy" admitted to paying RM5 "for a round of sex" with a senior at school, adding they would either "do it" at his or her home.

He said both parents were unaware of the activities as they thought the two were studying together and confessed that sometimes, one of his friends would join them for a "threesome".

"If I need sex, I only have to call or send her an SMS for an appointment.

"It all started when I began watching pornographic clips with my friend two years ago. Since then, my desire for sex grew and when I knew that this girl in school did not mind doing it for a fee, I decided to try it with her," he said.

Camp organising committee secretary Mahezan Baharom said the counsellors were shocked with how "frank and candid" the students were about their sexual activities although they were aware that they should not be having sex at their age.

Mahezan said apart from sex, the participants - aged between 13 and 15 - admitted to masturbating in a group, having multiple sex partners, consuming alcohol, glue sniffing, theft and smoking.

"Students who are involved in social ills or misfits do not only come from poor families. We have participants whose parents are well to do, VIPs and those whose mothers and fathers are religious people," he said.
