Additionally, since 2008, a staggering number of 1,075 cases of baby dumping were recorded, and according to Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, sexual abuse cases of 20,000 Malaysian children were hidden by the former Barisan Nasional government for over 10 years. This negligence towards sex education has had visible consequences throughout the years. One study in 2015 explored postgraduate students’ understanding of and beliefs about sexual and reproductive health. Results showed that most of them believed that sexually transmitted diseases could be spread by shaking hands .
The reason sex-related issues have been demonised so much is partly due to religion. In major religions of the world such as Islam and Christianity, fornication and adultery is forbidden. However, somewhere along the way, this prohibition has translated into a complete shunning of anything sex-related. This is further amplified by the media and public discourse mostly highlighting the negative aspects of sexuality.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that some Malaysians fear the implementation of SRH education would somehow encourage youngsters to engage in sexual activities. However, a 2012 article found that although male adolescents were at risk of having permissive attitudes toward sexual behaviors, good knowledge on sexual and reproductive health and being more religious may protect them from harmful sexual behaviours.The first step that needs to be taken by the government is to make SRH its own subject.
Emphasis must be given on the topic of family planning as well as its’ health and financial consequences to ensure that youth are aware of these factors when building a family. Moreover, child marriage and its negative consequences must also be talked about.
