Not enough sex talk as it is still considered taboo, says sociologist

Sociologist Dr Rosila Bee Hussain said it has to do with sex still being a taboo subject in many Malaysian families and such things are not discussed openly, especially between parents and children.

Dr Rosila, who is attached with Universiti Malaya, said she was not surprised to learn that Bukit Aman has only received one report of the incident so far as it is a touchy subject. Meanwhile, criminologist and psychologist Assoc Prof Dr Geshina Ayu Mat Saat said there are already existing laws to address consent in sexual assault cases.The clause explained that it is considered rape if consent was obtained from a woman through fear or hurt to herself or any other person, or under a misconception of fact and the man knows or has reason to believe that the consent was given in consequence of such misconception.

Dr Geshina is also of the view that the country’s rape laws could be updated to include forms of perceived and actual criminal acts but challenges that lie in the way.

80% go unreported. I knew this in 1996, maybe i should've been a Professor too.
