So a Russian girl is worth twice as much as a girl from north China, huh? And Malaysian girls are discounted fairly heavily. There are 460 million young adult women in China. That’s 60 times more “girls” that you’ll find in Malaysia (even if you count the Chinese Malaysians). My rudimentary understanding of economics suggests the scarcer commodity should sell for more. Perhaps some of our economist friends over at Marginal Revolution could explain what’s going on before we become Unspun or propmt Ranting from those who know the true value of cewek Melayu…

If nothing else, I’m happy to note from the poster that all nationalities are working in air-conditioned rooms. In these days of rising temperatures and oil prices, that’s a blessing whatever your price.

Good for Abdul Latiff Ahmad, is what I say. It’s a big step forward even suggesting that women in this relatively conservative population can initiate condom use. But as the always wise Marina Mahathir points out it’s one thing to carry condoms and quite another to use them. In many of our cases, this is a point that relates to opportunity — carrying condoms doesn’t help you get laid, sadly. But it is more importantly a point that relates to negotiation skills. Simply put, women don’t have anywhere to put a condom. So even if they have a chance to have sex, they can’t necessarily translate a condom in the own purse into a condom on their partner’s penis.

Still, the minister’s comments may allow women to defend themselves against arrest for prostitution simply because they’re packing latex. And as one sex worker remarked to me not that long ago: “Malay men are really lazy. If they’re standing in front of you ready to play and you pull out a condom, they’re not going to fight it. Too lazy.”
Bagimana, kawan kawan? Benar nggak?
