Happy hooker

Sufiah Yusof is quite literally a happy hooker.

The maths genius turned vice girl isn’t ashamed of her profession, in fact believes it to be glamorous and even takes her homework with her to her appointments.

Which makes it all the more tragic.

For all her brains, she seems unable to work out what’s wrong with selling her body to men for a living.

I can’t help think that in another five or 10 years this career choice will have affected her just as badly as her father Farooq's Accelerated Learning Technique – which saw her get into Oxford University aged just 13.

Or is it just me?

Let me know what you reckon here.

Wow...what the girl...

Prostitute is more dirty why not becoming pornstar...

Nice body...

[khairul anuar]

good luck in this world.... but next how.....

[denis]

This is a very sad indictment on what can happen when pushy parents take the childhood from the child. There was little or no love shown from her parent's they only considered the monetary and prestigious value in Sufiah and look how things are now. Love is what she needs in abundance not this sordid trade, hopefully someone will come along with that for a little girl lost. May Sufiah suceed with that, and find happiness away from the dangers that her present job could lead to.

[momo]

She might have the brains but this is just pure stupidity. Don't tell me she thinks being a prostitute is glamourous because she watched Pretty Women. Idiot

[David Malcolm]

I realise that being spoilt by lonely rich men can be attractive but dont you think that it will be difficult for you to one day hit the reality of life that we all have to live and come down to earth .

[Emma]

GOod luck to her. Wish I could make 60k from a couple of hours shagging a week! Think some people are a bit jealous :)

[David]

Harriet Harman and her friends, who seek to criminalise being a client, on the disingenuous assertion that most prostitutes are 'forced sex slaves' should be obliged to watch this. The world isn't as simple as they suppose- Sufiah comes over as well spoken, well balanced and at peace with her choice. She and her clients should be left to it..... even if that leaves both Harrient and the News of the World short of work!

[wfn..]

=) very idiot..

[Nick]

Sufioh Yosof is a very sexy woman with ample brains and boobs but I think she will ditch her current "career" in the near future for something which engages her intellectual ability.

[mai]

she might be happy doing it know because its a way to escape her problems and make easy money but I'am sure after a couple of months after being exposed! (alot of this clients pay for discretion not exposer!)

she will find it a nightmare when all her clients have moved on and she cannot get a job or no one will want a relationship with a ex-hooker!

as for people being jealous the money is easy for a reason most of these people who pay can be very demanding they ask for things they cannot get from normal girlfriends and as for her being able to pick and choose her clients thats not how it works the reason why she is doing is mainly desparate so when a client says they will have you for a few hours and ask for some very stupid demands that will put your health at risk its hard for them to say NO!

she might be happy doing it but i wish she stops making it out like its the best thing to become in the whole world but if you really think about it I'am sure its not as GLAMAROUS as it sounds

what she also forgot to mention is about 40% of her fees go to her agency or might i say her pimp for getting her the client and thats on all the jobs she does so really while she is getting shagged someone else is ripping her rewards too so maybe she is not that much of a maths genius as we all seem to think!

[david]

Mai- over 40% of what you earn is taken away by the goverment in assorted taxes.... much of it then wasted, to spun off into the pockets of Labour's armies of bureaucrats. Depressing; but does it stop you working?

[mai]

david! at least 40% partly pays for our healthcare and other services i meant 40% going to pimps who are then buying and selling drugs most of this girls actually buy drugs with the earning so its a vicious never ending circle and worse come to worse when this girls are hooked and the agency does not need them anymore you will be paying more in taxes to try and get them off the drugs

[david]

Dear Mia. Really? Where is your evidence that most call girls are on drugs? Street girls, maybe; but most agencies run a mile from addicts-- too unreliable.

As for the govt; under Labour public spending has risen from 38% of GDP to 45%- with no evidence of value for money. In the case of the NHS, believe me; I work alongside it. What has increased there is the number of bureaucrats with a form to complete for every process they check.

[Mike Stevens]

Sufioh Yusof is a sweetheart, and as long as no man is hurting her or using brutality towards her, then it's her business if she wants this sort of life. My fear for her is that she'll wind up dead at the hands of some misogynistic monster.

[mai]

talking from experience working with a charity where these girls normally end up seeking help when there addiction gets worse and the agency does not require them or there addictions get so bad that they cant function the way they are needed to some whom end up as street walkers to get the money they need for the drugs in the end the govt has to foot the bill! it starts with them normally replaying ads where in the end being naive they dont really know what they are letting themselves into most of them take the drugs with the clients this people are supplied the drugs from the agency its hard to believe but after you hear many of these stories and its quite sad when others are busy glamarising prostitution

[Muslim Brother]

I just feel sad on what is happening to Sufiah.
May Allah s.w.t. guide her for a better life.
My pray for her. Since she is a genius, she should know life is more than that.

Your muslim brother.

[david]

Mai-- Ah, I understand. You work for a charity that helps drug addicts (good for you) and see a number of ex-escorts in this role. But, this gives you a biased sample... specifically those that have fallen on bad times. It doesn't mean that every escort / call girl takes drugs or ends up addicted, or even that a majority do so; many don't even smoke. Suppose you worked for a charity that helped paraplegics--- you'd see an excess of crippled sportsmen, but it wouldn't prove that devastating injury was an inevitable consequence of physical sport...

[marco duran]

DON'T BE EVIL GIRL....

YOU JUST DESTROY YOUR LIFE AND YOUR FUTURE...

DON'T THINKING ABOUT YOUR SHORT HAPPINESS ....

BUT THINKING WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU!!!

Prostitution is more dangerous industry...you never suffered from HIV/AIDS.....So You Don't Know Sufiah!

[David]

Marco--- I don't want to be rude but, in her interview, Sufiah comes over as cogent and rational; moreover her English usage is grammatical.

Yes, there are risks to prostitution, but also ways to minimise them... The rate of HIV/AIDS is very low in UK working girls, virtually all of whom insist on condoms.

[Dan]

What a silly ho... what makes it worse is that she is glorifying it...she will burn in hell

[Leo]

If I have her maths genius, I think I can make a lot of money and become a millionaire.

I wonder why she doesn't use her brain to create unique products to sell and earn money from.

Wasting of her talent..

[david]

Dan-- What makes you suppose hell exists? But, if it does, perhaps it is for those who use threaten fire & brimstone, and seek to condemn others who have made free choices.

[LC]

One of my friends worked as an escort for a couple of years while she was in college. She was struggling to look after her kid, study, and work a part time job to pay the rent. She worked independently rather than for an agency/pimp. She paid her taxes like anyone else.

Escorting wasn't something she really wanted to do, but it gave her the money to accomplish her goals. She didn't find escorting to be a horrible experience, not compared with being a low paid secretary.

I'm not saying that it's a nice safe profession, but escorting is very different from walking the streets and working for a pimp. I don't think you can apply the horrible statistics for trafficked women, or drug abuse among street prostitutes, to women who choose to escort from a flat. It's like comparing slave labourers in a sweat-shop to people willingly working in manufacturing.

My ex-escort friend is one of the most intelligent, kind and decent people I know; a really great mother to her young daughter. She's never used drugs and half a shandy is her limit down the pub. she's not someone who fits any sleazy stereotype that people have about prostitutes. I think there are more women like her in sex work than most people think.

I hope Miss Yusof saves and invests her money wisely, including whatever she got for that interview. Despite her intelligence, all this publicity is likely to hurt her chances of getting a mainstream job. I doubt that she'll want to continue in sex work forever, and she could be in a bad situation if she has nothing put aside for her future.

[mai]

david! I specificaly work with drug addicts who are ex-prostitutes and 90% of them started as escorts and end up as street walkers and this people do have degrees too! its just they are too involved in drugs

as for LC your friend working in a flat is just as bad as walking the street when you invite a stranger in your house and accepting money in exchange of sexual favours your still doing the same thing the only difference is the environment!

i think some people have forgotten exactley what prostitution means (Prostitution describes the act of sexual intercourse in exchange for money)

it does not matter if you are a porn star/escort/working girl or whatever you choose to call them and they dont have to have the sleazy type of stereotype either

marco also has a point if a person is desperate for money to have to result to prostitution are most likely they are at a high risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases even when using protection

(mistakes do happen) with HIV/AIDS people assume that because your in the UK they are less risks wrong!

a third of HIV/AIDS carriers do not know they even have it because of the quality of lifestyle in the UK it takes a long time for a person to face same physical changes/ get really ill quickly or even be aware that they carry the disease unlike third world countries where the people's lifestyle is very different and the signs are all there!

[Misanasty]

Her statement could have been made out of her frustration and resentment in the relationship with her family particularly her father. I do not subscribe her decision to be involved in 'vice' or 'escort' activities as the only way out to resolve her predicament as well as a way to find happiness and pleasure in life. Presently being young and beautiful, she may be able to find clients who are willing to pay a good amount of money for her 'hourly' or 'one night' services. However, young and beautiful is something not a permenant feature in one's life and will not last for a lifetime. In a short period of time when he has been 'overused', the demand for her services will deminish. Thus, the 'handsome' amount she used to get for her services will disappear.
Sufiah, it is never too late to repent as God is ever forgiving. Please repent now before something dreadful befall on you.

[MySarah]

On behalf of Malaysian citizen, we hope Allah s.w.t will guide Sufiah to the truth path...

Don't waste your talent, Sufiah..

A very sad story of Sufiah...

[monyet_pp]

As a Malaysian, i am sad and shock with what happen to her. This is where when we are too "strict" on children life and as a result we created a "rebellion". No only it happen to here but take example Micheal Jackson buliding a mini disneyland at his home, why? because he "force" to sing early age that he misses life as young child and in return he build playground when he is an adult.

Only Sufiah understand her problem better than us. We do not know what she has gone through in her life. Even there is a group of Islam Official who is flying over there to enlighten her which I feel is unnecessary as it will only created chaos and what I can only said May God Bless You, Young Women, no matter what happen, you are always a Malaysian.

[Jennifer]

We, Malaysians, feel ashamed about her!

[Remorseful]

I quite understand that Sufiah's mind is distorted at the moment.
I believe that one day she will realise that she made a complete fool out of herself and reunite with her mum and siblings.
Dear Sufiah, we women deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. Until you understand what that means, i think your life would be gone before you know it. Wish you all the best in this short life.

[bodolahman]

I am hoping that she should aware of herself as a muslim more than being a british. What can you expect of a girl at 23 thinking about life. A hunting for hedonism alone cannot help her more 10 years. Lets wait after 5-10 years of her escort job, for sure she will leave it since getting older. No one will want her anymore. Just like Asia Carrera, pale and stale. Doing escort cannot make you rich. Just to end as a *****. None of the ******* are rich unless death awaits in tragic.

[Ahmad]

Everyone has different phases in their life. Sufiah mentioned that she hadn't had much fun until this moment in her life. Sad as I am reading (and unashamedly, ogling her pictures) the article, I'd say: Let her enjoy her fun moments while she can. Fun only lasts for a while.

Sufiah, girl, I believe you will move on to other things in your life. My only wish is that you don't make this moment as a long entry in your life diary. Assalamualaikum.

[Melayu Johor]

I really don't understand what the Malaysians are talking about. Her father is a Pakistani and her mother is a Malaysian (does not live in Malaysia anymore). Sufiah is a British citizen. I did not see any Pakistani claiming her as their own. Was she brought up as a moslem or just in the name? Prostitution is still not the answer even if she is a non-moslem! Good Luck Sufiah, you certainly will need it in your cereer of choice.

[Big Cat]

God has given her a wonderful gift and this is how she say thank you. Perhaps her gift is a curse but that is not an excuse for her to do what she is doing now. I wonder what she will do when the beauty, youth and body is no longer there. For all the brain potential that she's capable of, this is a very classic case of stupidity. I really pity her, because she haven't got a clue how worthless she is now, being used by men for a few hundred quid.

[187]

come on! She is making excuses to the $hit she put herself in.

She most probably cry every night after being shagged asking herself why she has to go to this extend to get money.

Time she did a reality check!

[Zep Tepi]

Sufiah strikes me as a very articulate, confident and self-aware person - and refreshingly unashamed of her own sexuality too! I have a great deal of respect for professional eroticians who provide an invaluable therapeutic service to gentlemen with otherwise deadly dull sex lives. I'm sure there's a huge market that caters for divorcees, widows, and married women whose husbands no longer find them sexually appealing. My only regret is that I don't live in Britain and that I probably couldn't afford Sufiah Yusof's services :-) Anyway, this young woman is obviously a survivor and can take care of herself. I'll bet she'll be doing what she does as long as she's enjoying it before moving on to some new challenge. It's a shame that there is still so much erotophobic false piety, hypocrisy and judgmentalism amongst us. Let's just cheer Sufiah on for having found work she enjoys and probably excels at.

[fellow muslim]

May Allah guides you..Sufi, back to the righteous path of Islam. I m sure you still have that memories of islamic teachings in your brain. Whatever you do right now..please remember there is a life after death. Please return to your creator and live a decent life again. May Allah bless you my sister.

[firdaus]

hai sufiah. i already read your story in this news..im sad because u re my idol when i growth. but now, it lost..for sufiah,i pray for u..may God blessing u.

[RLS888]

I'm saddened by the fact that such a maths prodigee succumb to vice. A few years back, there was Annabel Chong. Why live lives in denial when reality is in despair. face the problems/challenges as it builds ones character. why took the cheap way out? they have the gift but sad to say, in real life they are just cowards. they dare not face reality because they know that they cannot handle the truth. Its true that money can buy you lots of things in this world, but one thing for sure is that money cannot buy you happiness. there's a saying, desire is deserving but most of the time, what you desire is not what you deserve. May God have mercy on your soul Suffiah during Judgement Day.

[firdaus]

hope we can pray for her..sufiah, come back to Islam sis..im with u..

[Charlie]

Blimey how many more bright young proteges and eccentric young ones need to end up in the sex trade. Either the pay of a local supermarket job isn't enough, or they just simply need enough money to be financially stable while they study. The last thing they need is to have worrying distract their studies. As a student myself I'am short of cash but I'd be too agraphobic to use my body to make money. I'd just look for the nearest get rich quick scheme!

It might be ironic but some of those of work in the sex industry are brianiacs themeselves playing musical instruments, earning 10 GCSEs and using the cash they make to invest in careers.

[warda]

I PRAY AND HOPE THAT SUFIAH WILL REPENT FROM THIS EVIL ACT BEFORE IT TOO LATE......

[nordin]

she will come around eventually, give her sometime and soon will find out that being a hooker is not the glorious thing in the world to get into ....but hmmmm nice body tho : drool.

[normah]

As a mother of 2 kids, a daughter aged 20 and a son aged 23 (sufiah's age) i cannot imagine how dreadful ur mother must be feeling right now for her failure to give u the correct upbringing. And only a person who is 'sick' will be proud to engage in selling their body to men as a profession. God has chosen to bestow that special skill in maths to u. Utilise it for the benefit of mankind. We pray that God help u to the right path before its too late.

[PamPam]

Sufiah have a problem. I don't think she is happy as she try to sound. Look at the video of the interview. Somehow there is sadness in her eyes though she is "smilling" during photo shoot.
I believe she is just trying to proof to her parents (and ex husband) what their "pushing" has turn her into.
And because her "job" has gone to public eyes she just need to "appear" happy .
Come on Sufiah , accept reality... admit the sadness that is so obvious in your eyes during interview.

[Giez]

There is not wrong. Just take what she’s think right. Perhaps she was thinking deeply when she makes any decision. Nobody wants to be like that if no big reason. Let she’s pretend to be like having happy life. One day she must stop doing this thing. Not because it wrong just when times come the body cannot take it any more. That’s the way life is going on until death comes to you. Find who we are in this world why we a here. That is true happily rest of our life. From darkness there is light, you can’t see light when you’re in light. Hope comes when there is no hope. May God bless all life in this fake world.

[Elvis]

If shes happy with her new found career...then let her be. Why must we judge her? There are millions of unfortunate ladies trapped into prostitution by forced. She is not forced into it, remember than prostitution is the oldest trade around. And she wont be long in this trade anyway....the FUN factor will fade, just like her youth. Of course men LOVE young things. In other word, men know how to appreciated beatiful things...especially young ladies. She got the brain, maybe once she hit 30, she may fully utilize her true potential...not like most stupid ladies...having sex for FREE!!!!

[spyro]

ERMM..can't wait for her porn movie! when ya?

[Zalie]

Sufiah, explore your way to fullness, it is part of life-learning process. It is not too late for you to repent. There is no intermediary between you and God, always ask from God. Remember you mother, Halimatoon, siblings and fellow muslims. We are here to assist you. Remember this opening verse 'Ihdina siratal mustaqim' Guide me to the straight path.

[physicalnotokay]

Sufiah Yusof, we knew this couldn't be your career for life, please think of your long-term life impact due to your involvement in this prostitution industry. You may gain huge financial support today, what about your inner strength and the continue emotional support from your family and friends.

Your choice today might hurt the people who're continuing love and care for you. Sufiah, prostitution is still not a profession, please change your perception and bring yourself back to the right path! Prostitution is not O.K, and cannot be regarded as an acceptable act.

[ariana]

What a stupid girl. I really don't buy the feminist argument of embracing your sexuality and being in control. As is the case with most prostitutes they have been sexually abused in their childhood. I wouldn't be surprised if her father did something to her. I'm sure she'll appreciate her choice once she gets a lovely STD. She needs therapy not publicity.

[wfn]

be strong sufiah... ! from ur sister/brother..malaysian..

[Ummul Ain]

I just cant believe she is genuinely happy with what she's got herself into. She could end up dead, murdered by any of the twisted men she is involved with. It's only a matter of time now, with all this publicity, there'll be more lustful admirers and sex maniacs after her...Lust, jealousy are not to be toyed with...Sufiah what have you got yourself into girl?

[gay]

good brain = oxford

no conscience = runaway

good brain + no conscience = prostitution

[Bonda]

What a pity, all in my life i wish i have talent in doing maths which i don't..and being gifted like Sufiah is a blessing from Allah. I dont think she is happy, because no sins make us happy. To Sufiah, I hope come back to reality and pray for forgivness from Allah, before its too late. You are smart enough to think what is right and what is wrong. And dont forget about AIDS too..Maybe your are beautiful now but there is no everlasting for all kind of goods dear..May Allah open your heart..Amein.

[mamat]

..I can't imagine how's your mother,Halimahton see your sexy pics..Oh,I feel wunna cry...you're not geniuos enuff!!

Sufiah holds a British citizenship isn't it ?

[mark Lamberger]

Really stupid girl...Your IQ is genius but not your EQ....

you destroy yourself...Money Won't Buy You 100% Happiness...

-----------BOYCOTT SUFIAH YUSOF------------------

[faizal]

If being genius made me a fool of life. I rather off being stupid.

[auds]

wow, i am sure that her body is awesome, but these photos look HIGHLY retouched, some look a bit cartoony. G'luck!

[Enche Ariff]

What a waster girl..? You said you are happy now. But what will happen next? I once proud of you. Think of Allah, your mother, family, sins..

[bodolahman]

I am very sure you are happy now with your client. I know you have got many feedback of your profession so far.

It is too late to help you for now since you were enjoying doing the thing in that way. Nevermind, take your time.

Life is just "Once broken, consider sold". No compromise. I have came across with a girl before, (for sure, she is even more beautiful and in the shape than you, Sopiah) ,

she used to claim doing playboy for her law study as well in 1998. See now, what has happened to her? Still doing the same for 10 years and not getting richer in this quick-rich-scheme. Previously I remember, she used to claim that this was just for her degree and stop soon after graduation day.

No one can help you out of this business except yourself. And I believe, you have read all the comment here since there is not much comment about you so far. Perhaps after 2-3 weeks, people will stop thinking and talking about you anymore.

[Annabel Smith Shahbuddin]

Ohhh dear...I really pity you Sufiah. You can pretend to be happy for all the world to see, you MAY feel happy on the outside but I am pretty sure there is a lot of sadness in you.

Happiness is from within. You cannot lie to yourself no matter how hard you tried.

Dear Sufiah, one day, you will walk alone and tears will drop from your eyes... and suddenly life's reality hits hard on you. When that happens, I hope you will seek solace at London's Regent Mosque. You may find Cat Stevan's website soothing for your soul and Moez Massoud a good companion.

Take care girl.

[Iskander mahmudov from moscow]

haha...nice..

genius girl became famous porn star haha...

hope we can watch your action in porn video...

[Orang Melayu]

Think wisely girl. What a waster. What are you trying to prove to the world? Hope you you can see the right path. May Allah bless you.

[Shazleen]

All i hope is that Sufiah happy. As long as she happy that's fine. Regarding her miscalculation about her life, i think she's know her life better than we do. But if Sufiah read these; i suggest you to stop abusing yourself (although you find your job pleasure you). I believe that your life is still in control and you still have that intelligent and do your homework. But now you are leading to future that promising nothing than hell. Before it getting worse, just go back to your normal life (life with no issue and wrongdoing).

[Jay]

I respect this lady. What she says is very true. There is nothing wrong being an Escort or prostitute. It is an honest job. You worked hard for it and you get paid. What more, you even enjoy your job !! It is a Win-Win situation.

The only thing is, she should not have said she can she earn up to £1,000 a day. Now, the Taxman will be after her !! LOL..

Bless you Sufiah..I hope you will will live a fruitful life.

[dali]

2 many incidents drove people into making mistakes to their lives either by force or choice. Being an adult, u have 2 decide to get out of it n lead your normal life or drown with it. The difference is to think for the good n bad, now n later n of cause d consequences. Whatever is done its done. Choices had been made.

2nd chances is always there. Make it to the WORST or BEST. Choice is still yours.

Should help is needed, there are people all over the world willingly to extend their hands 2 reach you out.

U have the guts, i believe u.

[BikerVoodoo]

If she became a spokesperson for Royal Enfield motorcycles, they might be able to draw in more riders. Don't you think so?

[johnny sperms]

Good luck but your sums do not add up.

[bineus]

she's done well given a pressure cooker start in life by a messed up father.. it's one helluva ride she's had. and so what if her views on happiness don't match the mainstream - she's finding the control & love for herself she is missing all these while.. equations & sex! blady hell she's having fun ppl!

[msnurul]

sufiah..i hope you will get to read this.i am your moslem sister,and i was very shocked when i first knew about your job.but i didn't blame u per se,because i think your parents should held responsibilities for this.but u know that prostitution is PROHIBITED in islam,don't u?wake up sufiah!wake up!money and materials don't buy happiness!even if you said that you are happy now,but do u think that this will make u happy for the rest of your life? u know that it is sinful!try to be close to Allah sufiah..i pray that Allah will guide you towards the right path...remember that what you are doing now will only bring you "temporary" happiness!

[Shawn Thornton]

From the time a girl is young, she is inundated with messages that reinforce the fact that her looks and sexuality are extremely important and give her power. She is mostly judged by her looks throughout life. Guys spend half their lives trying to get girls intoxicated so they will get naked. On any given weekend, bars are filled with guys trying to get in girls' pants and with girls letting guys in their pants for the price of a few drinks. Businesses in many industries use sex to help make them rich all the time. If the girl shows herself in a magazine like Playboy or in a movie made in Hollywood, she is a celebrity and almost worshipped. If she sings extremely provocative songs and dresses super sexy, she sells millions of records, becomes a celebrity, and has guys and girls standing in line to pay money to see her. If a home video is released showing her having sex, she becomes even more famous and makes magazines, websites, and others even richer.

I find it completely absurd and the height of hypocrisy that when a grown woman chooses to charge people for sex, however, the world suddenly has a huge problem with it. As long as she gives it away for free like most guys want or it makes some other group of people rich, people seem to be ok with it. What a joke.

You go Miss Yusof. You are absolutely beautiful and obviously intelligent. If I had the money to be your client, I would gladly pay for your company.

[amitamit]

reading all the comments from malaysian make me laugh.am malaysian too, but when I was in malaysia, I never heard malaysian muslim called malay prostitutes as their sisters.May be they not glamour as Sufiah.Am sure if one of the prostitutes is their sisters, they will disown her, am I right? Sufiah is a british, and will never be a malaysian.Doesn't mean her mom is a malay,and she should be a malaysian too.HELLOOO..Her father is a Pakistani.I wonder is there any Pakistani out there try to claim this girl is Pakistani?She's a grown up woman now.As a bristish the right they have is their power to choose whatever they want to do in their life.It's not like in malaysia, over 20s still like babies in their parents house.Just respect whatever she choose for her life, and stop being pathetic!

[david]

So many correspondent invoking god, without acknowledging the likelihood that there is no god.

Better honest prostitution than basing your life the fantasy of religion.... Good luck Sufiah

[M Zin, Alor Gajah]

If you are reading this Sufiah,

We want you to know that there are many millions of people in faraway lands who have long followed your story. They have a tenth of your gifts and feebly struggle through a stark life day to day.

We sometime soon you'd stop to think again young lady, whether material and sensual pleasures are the sole object of life's fulfillment.

[Bav]

yuk yuk. u need therapy woman. you're messed up

[qeen]

i believe you know wat is 'the best for you'all you hv to do is,juz close ur eyes n think of it....

[Kim]

We are we to judge her? It's her a life and she has the right to do what with it. For those who are slamming her for what she is doing think that you have a perfect pure life? For those who believe in God, let HIM be the judge when the time comes. In the mean time, stop judging others as you have your own life to live.

[bodolahman]

Dear folks,

I thought Malaysian deserved to have their say when their government pay for her study. That was their money. It is not a matter of judging her alone. Any single cent come from Malaysian, they deserved to know where the output is. The right is another issue. If Sufiah refuse to take the scholarship, she should do whatever she want. In this case, Malaysians are feel cheated to spend their money for a future vice girl at that time.

Yes, I must say, personal right is depend to her discretion. What about Malaysian money for her study? Should it be an issue, she must pay back to the Malaysian government. If her study be beared by her parents, it OK. And if I were a fair and square Malaysian MP, I would ask her to repay Malaysian money back like others as PTPTN did (correct me if I were wrong). This is normal and should be a win-win situation. "Malaysia have spent their people money for a future pornstar" and the output is nothing.

Just my 2 cents.

[Michelle]

well, frankly speaking i do admire her courage for doing what she wants to acheive in life.

i too came from a traditonal christian family under a strict parents, somehow this kind of upbringing makes me very rebellious when i was a teenager and later as an adult.

i started to have the same feeling as her when i was her age and have to confess that we do have high sex drive and i just want to enjoy sex.

can you imagine the thrill of getting hooked up by guys in a pub? i just simply loved it.

i am proud of her for publishing her encounter to public.

[naga6my]

Dear Fellow Malaysians,

Please leave sufiah yusof out of our lives. Leave her alone to carry on her own destiny.
No. 1/ She is not even malaysian
No. 2/ Her mother is no longer malaysian. [did she repay the malaysian government for her studies in UK.? and the Johor state for her education in johor schools..]
No. 3/ What have the Yusof family contributed to the malaysian society..?? They are not even voters..!!

So... mind out our business or we may even loose more states to the opposition parties.. but which is which now...?? BN is the opposition party in many states..!!!

[fahmie-LosAngeles]

The Malaysian Government has wasted "Malaysian" money by sponsoring Sufiah, who used to be a part of Malaysian, not anymore I guess. I personally would ask back the money from that "future ponstar"; but of course not from the wages she has earned from selling her body.

Well, we do not really know what had happened to her in the past, but as a parent especially her "Malay MOM" should understand better of her children lifehood though. Do something to "correct" her genius girl, do not sit and pray, put more effort aunt.. - if you think she is going into the "wrong" direction though.

My advise here (To SUFIAH YUSOF)
" Assalamualaikum, ALLAH SWT is watching
you........"

[Norly]

I fell very pity with Sufiah. She is such a genius person and in the end she becomes a hooker. And she prouds of it.

I really hope that she can come back to the right path which is Islam. Nobody can help her except herself.

The morale of the story, parents should not be too strcit on their child. Let them learn everything in a proper way. Don't block their freedom. They must have freedom but under parents' guidance.

[dali]

a failed system or the system that failed us? same goes to whatever believe/faith we may/maynot embraced.

theres nothing wrong with the teachings but those who drove them to extreme limits did. those who knew but kept their silence, did. those with the powers but never exercise it into good course, did. the blunder of ignorance that is.

definitely sufiah, is just another casualty or sort. there are others like you out there for unknown reasons to many but ended doing like you did for money, pleasure and lust, experience, vengeance, threat, by force or reasons they know best.

is it fate? Or fate is unjust? Whichever u pick to lead your life is yours entirely. If ever my/our wish is granted, just consider those people once, near to you, loved you, cared for you and infact, you, yourself will have to endure the payback in whatever way it may come. soon or later.

grab that chance sufiah! its still not too late.

just ignore those opportunists whom believes a price is fair of you even you once tagged as such. time will tell, time will come to age where people will forgive and forget.

there are lots more to explore in life.

and if the just reasons u confessed to be true, i believe donations from good samaritans all over the world and without taking advantages to the beautiful of you are just 6 letters away...."HELP ME!"

[people that cares]

why do u do like that...
dont u ever felt ashame of your self..
where is your 1 priority..
your religion..
your country..
your family

[me]

Exactly. Get this into your heads, Malaysians. She is British. Not Malaysian. Just consider this another money wasting effort, pre angkasawan days. The government was so desperate to prove that a 'malay/malaysian boleh' that they were stupidly blind to the fact that Sufiah and her mom were not Malaysian. Do you all know about the many non Malay, Malaysian child prodigies that were left in want of government scholarships all these years? I dont blame Sufiah for all these, as it was obvious that this sponsorship was the result of Sufiah's parents exploitation. Najib was and is a fool.I just wish the Malaysian government and NGOs would stick to their fellow countrymen instead of spending tax payers money on a british citizen. If you want to spread the good word of religion go help the many prostitutes in Malaysia.

I would tell Sufiah, you go girl. Enjoy your life and dont forget to take care of yourself.

[Sympathy]

Sufiah might be gladly announcing she 'has no regrets' in what is doing now....but not until one day she is strucked by cervical cancer...Only if she turns over a new leaf now and put her gifted brain to full use and not 'trading' her body to satisfy those pathetic old wealthy man...Else, she would just be as pathetic!!!

[Bloo]

What is wrong with all these Malaysians claiming Sufiah to be their owned? Isn't she british? If the Malaysians and their government felt cheated because they sponsored Sufiah it was of their own doing. That's what you get when you give money to a person who doesn't feel any obligations towards you as she is not a citizen of that country. Sorry Malaysians but what most of you were saying just don't make sense. Maybe this girl is screwed up but it's her choice of life and there's nothing much we can do for her. My advise to the ill informed malaysians: just get on with your life and do the best you can for your compatriots not for an outsider.

[Concerned]

Hope you will come to your sense soon. You have such a talent and what a waste to go the direction you choose.
Its never too late - choose a right direction & I am sure u will achieve something good.
Good kuck & take care

[Ahmad Arsad]

Morality is much more valuable than money!Poor sufiah.She has a crisis of identity that people outside had discover.Money is not always on top of thing but we human are always on top of everything.That's why the Almighty created brain.
Many people like to have a gifted brain which can do wonders that makes people jelous, however do not waste it if you have one.Do not
treat gifted as garbage even you have inevitable conditions.

[Solomon]

I also graduated from Oxford at certain age. I also have the same problem. Take it easy, girl. I am a farmer now. Remember, prodigies produced good things to public not for themselves or else you will bear the consequences. That's why we are born.

[matahati]

"We have indeed created man in the best of molds.Then we do indeed debase him (to be) the lowest of the low --- except such as believe and do righteous deeds: for they shall a reward ubfailing." Al Quran, The Fig, #95:4-6

[Jim]

(1 + 1)(1) = 2... She might not have been taught about cervic cancer by her numerical-crazy dad!!!

[matdet]

Sufiah, we are in Malaysia right now ready to help u anytime.Please stop this.

[nordestroyer]

Sufiah ...nice body.....but your face look really facky tho ...look more mature for 23 years old ...I wonder 10 years down the road how would you look like.

Sufi...I know you are sad....unhappy sole....and you are sick tooo....

You will never get it right girl till you are able to forgive your father.

He made a terrible mistake ...I agree....but he is a human tooo....

Don't be like him....girl....he destroyed already......don't destroy your life.....

[aku]

sufiah..be strong..money doesn't mean happiness...
think about your mother...she bought u in this world..9 months in her gracious..not easy as we thought..u will understand it if u become mother soon...we all pray for u...amin..

[Vikram]

Sex rules....enjoy it.... Shilpa Lee....Its ur life...!!!..and to rest of the people in this world dont disturb her...Let her...Live...in her way...

[Badrul]

Pity towards you Sufiah. Cannot blame your family or your environment. Blame it on yourself! You have your own choice. Good luck to you.

[snz]

she's a total slut who has gone haywire.
she has the brains but doesn't use it.
think of the consequences and don't come crying when u got aids/hiv.
and don't put the shame on ur family and blame on ur parents.
it's u who's wrong

[Luke Teoh]

The equation is : a stupid misguided soul of a genius. Welcome to the world of AIDS, ultimate self-destruction and disillusionment.

[MdR]

It is really heartbreaking to hear the news of Sufi. She's got the brains and beauty - every girl would dream of that. But let's not be too quick to impose judgment on her. She has problems which none of us have encountered before. It's always easy for us to express reactive attitude towards situations like this but never the other way round. She got her inspiration from reading a novel or watching Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Do we not get inspiration from sources such as that? I do admit that this escort business is not the best of "careers" but there are several things which I do not understand; (1) she works in Manchester but studies in London, (2) she earns 130-1000 pounds at one time but lives in a small apartment and plays music with a “cheap” CD player, (3) she was in debt, has to pay school fees so ends up in the escort service but seems to be continuing the profession although the money she earned for the first month may well be enough to settle her debts and probably has excess for future expenses, (4) she could earn the same 60,000 pounds in other career sectors but she refuses. The list could go on…

Sufi is a girl who grew up too fast and made one move in her life which we see as irrationale. But if everyone thinks rationally, there wouldn’t be so many problems in the world. Sufi has the right to hate her parents for denying her childhood from her. I hope that she stays in solitude, and reflects on the cheerful moments she had with her siblings (who had gone through the same experience) even though that cheeful moments mean sharing the same hate against their father. I’m sure her siblings look up to her and I highly doubt Sufi would recommend the profession to them as a means out. On the short term, this escort service earns her glam, money and princess-like treatment because she’s young and beautiful. People age, Sufi. Think of the long term consequences on your health.

I have faith that she will change. Give her time. Just hope that the time comes sooner.

[M Zin, Alor Gajah]

Ah yes, bodolahman,

Cat Stevens!

"Oh, very young
What will you leave us this time
Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while ...
What will you leave us this time," Cat Stevens (1974)

[muslim sis]

Pretty but brainless!!! She may a genius, but she's an idiot somehow! For a muslim lady to turn herlife to somekind of pros activity, thinking of having a glamorous life and a wonderful sex.. what kind of thinking is that?

SufiaH!! pls back to the right path.. this is not a fairy tale or a movie... this is real life, girl!! think of what wil happen to you in the future..

May Allah guide you for a better life...

Muslim sis

[Yanti]

Hmmm... very depressing with talent like that she choose to be a High Class Prostitutes. Don't feel ashamed for her action for she feels nothing to it. But remember life is not a bed of roses.Beauty does not last and money does not really gives you happiness

[Az]

The question: is she happy doing on what she's doing or she's happy making her family (esp her dad or ex-hubby)feel bad on their past doing to her childhood years? Its abt LOVE or HATE.Life is like a tidal waves, has its hi tide and lo tide. There will be a time when she will be so down and useless (as what happened to her few years back). Its not abt that high or low time tht important but more about how to cope with that moment without losing the values.Who will LOVE her till the rest of her life...whn she is nothing/no body.

[Nell]

There must be a cause that Sufiah has turned out to be this way and for the principles that she has held today. Can't really put all the blame on her especially when we know about her past. However, I just hope she finds the right people to inspire her along the way. Who knows, today she's hated but someday people might revere her when she changes for the better!

[hassnee bujai]

miss sufiah...

just want to give friendly advice...before you ended up as prostitute HIV positive just go back to the right path before its too late...money mean nothing when life ended lying on the bed as HIV patient...

[aliht]

its her life and her body....what she wants to do is her rights...why is the public so concern abt showing her the right path..if they are so good hearted, pls go to KL chow kit area and adopt a child and give them a life...it will be a wise thing to do than being an empty vessel...Sufiah..my salute to your courage and may god be with you.

[azuwar]

Sufiah is a tortured soul.She's been living in a academic hot house for years and never knew what's its like to grow up normal.
This is her rebellion against everything that has happenned to her.

Let her find her own equilibrium her own way.Sometimes being too smart enables one to look beyond right and wrong.Her curiousity is the one that drives her.
Who are we to judge? Would we say the same if Sufiah is our own daughter or sister?

The only thing I hope Sufiah would be aware of the bad things that comes with this profession...the undesirable health hazards such as Aids etc.

If she does contract those diseases, take virgin coconut oil for one year...i had a friend who had his aids blood count down to zero after taking it for 1 year.

Thank you.

[em]

from my point of view, sufiah has done the biggest mistake in her life. maybe in the eyes of the world she is not to be blamed due to the consequences that she has gone through during her childhood. she had the chance to go back to the right path when she married jonathan because the lad was a good one and he was actually learning to be a good muslim and now it has been proven that jonathan is a pious convert muslim. to me sufiah was just trying to make excuses to leasd the kind of life that she is leading now. she does not believe in the existence of Allah and Allah will be there for His followers in whatever condition they are in. i just hope that one day she will come back to her senses be a good muslim. no point blaming anyone at this point

[PW]

Sadly, this woman thinks that she is Belle de Jour and is supposedly living a fairy tale. The difference is that Catherine Deneuve of Belle de Jour fame is a successful actress and not a prostitute. The stark reality is that no one will respect you for being a prostitute...because you don't respect yourself. It can affect you in the long run both physically and emotionally. And what kind of future can she expect?

[Kingtao]

Sufiah, live your life to the fullest!!! Ignore the hypocrite who judge you. You are young, you are genius, dont worry, you still got the brains once you youth wither. Those who tell you otherwise, remember, their IQ are well below yours(assuming you sum up all the negatif people who comments badly of you). You are my real IDOL!!!!

[Joe]

Errrm, PW? Belle de Jour is an anonymous escort who created a blog about her adventures as a high-end call-girl in London. She then won a book deal, and her book was turned into a TV series starring Billie Piper. Google "Belle de Jour" and look for the blog, not the movie. She still blogs, it a good read. I'm a fan, which is why I'm responding to you.

This is the Belle to whom Sufiah is referring to, not the movie starring Catherine Deneuve...

[permaisuri]

how sad . sufiah can't think well , where's she has to move. sufiah's too complicated with her life. we can't blame her only . :'(

[Gua]

Its a breakthrough, with enough publicity like this one, you can really propel your career into a greater height. That means money girl. You know what money can do to your life so, its now time to use that brain of yours, get down to work.

Find or make something you can sell/trade, but not your own self lah my dear...

[drizze De]

id have a right old butchers with this 1! ...go carry on wot u doin....U can do wot u want wotever makes hapy

[Ramdzan]

Not a clever move! Simply stupid of her!
And she should also avoid all the publicity as it made matters worse.

[sally]

At the end of the day, its her life. She can choose what she wants to do with it. It may just be a short phase where she wants to have fun. Or it maybe an outlet to seek attention. Or maybe that she likes the freedom to decide what she wants to do in life and right now is to be an escort. Lets not judge her. She has gone into it with eyes wide open. Whether she regrets it later or she doesn't, again that's her life. She is an adult and have actually researched agencies, which goes to show she knows what she is getting into. Lets just drop this subject and let her live her life as how she sees fit.

[dorkscotch]

hahahahhaha.. ur soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo STUPID.. thank God im not a GENIUS. LOL.

[Nikeda]

reading about what has become of the math prodigy saddens me in many ways as a fellow woman and muslim.
i do understand where she's coming from and i am glad that she has broken away from all that has turned her into what she is now and i am happy for her that she has found something that she feels is making her happy.
it is not for other people to decide what's good or bad for her. it is for her to decide on her own.
condemning her, insulting her and/or even cheering her on for that matter, would only feed her determination of continuing what she is doing now in order to prove other people wrong and that she is right in what she is doing.
she might be a genius intellectually but i believe, emotionally, she is still a child trapped in a horrible childhood. being emotionally damaged, though she might not admit to it, is what has driven her to what she has become and her new found freedom, one that she never knew before, that comes with it is what's keeping her there, not glamour, excitement or whatever it is that she claims that she gets out of being a social escort.
and i believe that is what has blinded her from her faith that she was brought up with.
so, my heart and my prayers goes out to her as a fellow woman and muslim and i hope she would find a better life than the one she is having now and/or had before this and i really hope she would find the strength to bury her past, find peace and move on to something better, which she is capable of achieving.

[midori]

really hard to believe this story. she is same age of me, same religion but she is a hooker, people may think that her life is depend on her own decision but as a muslim we cannot live with our self. it is a part of dakwah to bring her back to Islam. Pray that Allah will help her, aamin.

[Save Malaysia from Idiots]

So many poor neglected people in Malaysia who have yet to reap anything from the taxes they pay and yet the government is abandoning them and rushing to the aide of a British citizen who is not even asking for any help whatsoever. ( Bordering on harassment? I would say so )

Please keep tabs on this story. When Sufiah fills out a restraining order on these idiots ( who are travelling there under the people's expense) we in Malaysia would absolutely love to have that Kodak moment to remember for life.

[Brob]

Nice Interview, quiet far from the usual 'clichés' of escorting !!!
Until she's in control of her activities she can enjoy it...
The only question is : how long could she stays ?
By the way, how could we contact her ?
Good luck Sufiah...
Regards...

[Malaysian in Reading, UK]

I'm still believed that how genius or how perfect we are...the most important is we need to be well equipped with two main things i.e. the true muslim know about it. Went to university at a very young age without proper religous guidance was a very big mistake...Now we heard that a group from Malaysia try to save her!!! for what? You all better save many Malaysian in Malaysia...i think we already waste our money to this girl...she don't want our money or guidance..she don't know about Islam...better send her to the jungle!!! Let see either she can survive or not!!

thank for reading my comments eventhough with poor English.

[chaya]

This is interesting..a lot people that commented negatively about you is male..hmmm..wonder why? To be honest, you've watch too much TV!

[baremariam]

This is disturbing. For her to openly brag about her hooker profession, it put us,muslim in shames. she a muslim,rgt?

Its also like telling all women out there that, u dont need education to succed, just big butts and fake **** no need to push yourself. You want to live like a rich-wannabe,be a hooker, great sex and good money.

so what if she makes 60000 pound a year, more hookers will come back and she will be forgotten and noone would want to have anythg to do with an ex-hooker.

though beautiful and brainy, she seem off balance. if she thinks that reciting numbers and solving equations during sex is thrilling...more like lunatics. to me,

it seems that for her to openly discuss her "wonderful carrer, is like, she in need of more clients to survive...so men out there wud find her appealing and would find her... its like putting an ad of urself to boost sales.

to all womens out there, u dont need to be a hooker to have money, in life u have choices and ur choices shapes ur future. dont live in regrets.

[salleh]

She have brilliant brain, same with me...same age too. For a long time I admire her because she got an opportunity to make better future base on her intelligent level, but, now...she shows me that the intelligent level is not important in life. So, i know the real person is who can think pros & cons using their heart before do something is better than who are gifted but wasted. This become worse because she has inspire many youngsters through her lifestory before.

Sufiah...if you read this comment, pull yourself back! You gone to far...

[letsbefair]

Sufiah should listen to the song from Charlene who sang "Never been to me".

I am afraid she may one day end up like the person in the song advising others not to go the way she took.

[sounthararaj malaysia]

Well. Good for her. At least she only "prostitutes her body. Less sinful than those of us who prostitute our beliefs, values, thoughts and professional skills ala politicians.

[niki]

what the...shocking!!!!!well,it's sad though.i know she'll regret it someday.i want her brain!;]

[Tony]

Sufiah is smart beautiful talented but misguided.

She may think that this the best thing that has happened to her as it meets her sex and material needs

Fresh flowers are always in demand. When she is older, maybe just a couple of years down the road, she may be full of regret.

I only hope she will have a friend to help her out of the mess she has put herself in when the time comes.

[Amy]

HI sufi...

U've got such a lovely name but why u do this to all muslim especially ur parents and family??? i hope soon u'll find a way to know Allah that is how u can know urself...

[Khairul]

Sufi, you may feel think and tell everybody that you have a wonderfool job and great sex. But have you think that by doing this, you have make a fun of your family. Maybe you don't have alot of time to play went you are young,gurl but give a sex service is not a job. Now everybody how know your family, your mom will say that their only can make this child become maths genius but not a good muslim daughter.

And you are a math genius, gurl you can make more than 60k a year.

To everybody how have a genius son or daughter, make sure their have alot of fun in their world

[FARAH NURMAN]

Talking about this smart and pretty girl, i just can't believe my eyes, this is Sufiah Yusof, whom I know a maths genius at the age of 13 yet a Muslim. What can i say, you seems to enjoy yourself doing such unhealthy lifestyle. Just want to remind you that this will never last forever. You will grow old and try to imagine that you're telling you're grandchildren(or.. if you have one in the future..)about what you're doing when you're young!!!What a shame...Nothing else to add, however i do agree that it would be such a waste if the Malaysian gov trying to help this British girl who decide to be a part time genius hooker (a hooker will always be a hooker...)
BUT TO U SUFIAH, "HOPE YOU ENJOY YOURSELF" AND REMEMBER THAT ALLAH IS WATHCING YOU AND EACH AND EVERYONE OF US IN THIS TEMPORARILY WORLD.....

[Ana,Kulim]

quote "Sufiah is a tortured soul.She's been living in a academic hot house for years and never knew what's its like to grow up normal.
This is her rebellion against everything that has happenned to her." >>I agree on this comment. She certainly needs help.
To Sufiah, I just hope that you'll be able to repent before it's too late. What a waste of God's gift to you. You could've been more successful by using your intelligence than your physical appearances.

[Another Malaysian]

Sufioh Yusof is a Malaysian or not? Well, i think if the Malaysian government paid for her studies, then she must be a Malaysian right... It is immaterial whether she is doing something right or wrong in her life, but what are the authorities (Malaysian Government) doing about this... She may have her own reasons and yes they may be a good point for her to end up like this... But what is sad is that THE REST OF US MALAYSIANS ARE TELLING HER THINGS LIKE SHE WILL ROT IN HELL AND AS A MUSLIM, START REPENTING QUICKLY AND BLAH BLAH...

Something more concrete Malaysians, instead of urging Sufioh to repent or to stop her career as a prostitute, I think we should URGE THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SUFIOH, since we claim to be AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY... Don't you all agree that something seriuos should be done, depending on the kind of action that the government wants to take against her... I hope this is A WAKE UP CALL FOR OUR MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT and I hope that at their very first Parliament sitting, this issue is discussed seriously... There is no point in us calling ourselves AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY and keeping silence when an issue like this is talked about by people of all walks of life from all over the world...

The best part of it is our younger generation is watching...

[save malaysia from idiots]

Another Malaysian,
Read up on your facts before you start getting all preachy... then you won't end up with egg all over your face...

[Richard Reynham]

I've just caught up with this and have to say I'm horrified.

Absolutely horrified, in fact.

Society is surely on the verge of disintegration, and the End of The World itself imminent, when -- horrifically! -- there are actually people out there who, er, think this kind of rubbish is news.

It might have been in the mid-19th Century. It certainly isn't now in the 21st.

To all those who think She Should Repent, or Needs Help, or indeed, anything else: butt out, will ya?

And while you're at it, go get a life and live it as your own, rather than wasting it in pathetically prurient examination of the lives of others.

PS: To those who do know her, Sufiah is indeed warm, witty, articulate and intelligent. Would that I could use that same description here where so many posters are concerned.

[gurL gadis]

i wonder if she is still a muslim?!

[nina_bjork]

Sufiah, I believed that one day you will regret with what u said n done today..and I also have strong feelings that you will find the right path in future..InsyaAllah

[J Clark]

Sufiah seems to be happy with her lifestyle, so who are we to judge her. It would be nice to see her become a pornstar, perhaps in the USA or Europe, which is a more appropriate profession for beautiful ladies nowadays who enjoy having sex in exchange for money. Laure Sainclair the pornstar of the late 1990s had a figure like a fashion model and was a talented singer. She was a very intelligent girl and her profession as a pornstar never did here any harm. Sufiah could do the same.

[save malaysia from idiots]

I am so embarassed by the behaviour of certain Malaysian individuals who have taken advantage of this situation by starting a collection under Sufiah's name. I hope nobody is fooled into contributing to this fund as it is of dubious nature.

Sufiah, please go to the police and put a stop to this craziness. God knows what will happen to you should they fail to 'heal' you.

[Malaysian professor]

I'm glad Ms. Yusof has the honesty and guts to call a spade a spade, unlike the hypocritical or the ignorant. Social relationships between men and women are an economy. Men take women on dates; women expect men to buy dinner, flowers, drinks, etc; men expect that that would lead them to, at the very least, a kiss, a relationship, and/or marriage (read procreation). Think about traditions that consist of giving dowries on wedding days. That's probably the most blatant example of everyday sexual economy.

The Malaysian government may have paid for her education, but she is a British national. She is not a breaking the law of her country or of Malaysia. The most the M'sian government can do is to stop funding her, but so what? She can just get funding elsewhere just based on academics. Not all people of all nations are close-minded and petty. Some people let people live their own lives, instead of casting stones from our ivory towers.

Last but not least, unless you know people from the sex trade, you won't fully understand what they're going through and what happens after. I have come across and interacted with a number of women, men, and transgender people who are in the sex trade, and many of them know that the sex trade is fleeting. Most of them use that as a stepping stone (they save up, invest, and then move on to other things -- opening up a small business, for instance), and some of them do it for fun until they get bored with it. If you want to criticise, criticise based on real-life experiences with these people, not by reading statistics, religious texts, or even her eyes because there is something in this world called "ideology."

[watie123]

Dear Sufiah, ur ex-husband for sure feel ashamed of u r cos he is trying to be a gud Muslim and u r in the other way round. What a waste....
Imagine ur parents, brother n sister look at ur body....
aren't u feel something??
Come on dear, don't blamed on ur family for you to become like this.
U r once my idol n wish my kids could be like you.
But now i'm afraid not :(
Pls back to wat u r before, i'm sure you can dear...

[Lis]

I think Sufia Yusof has a right to do what she wants to do, and all those hypocrisy remarks about her religion, her well-being, her life-style does not have anything to do with anyone but herself. Bravo Sufia! Go on with what you enjoyed most and invest well! To the rest of the hypocrites, take a good look at what you think you can do as well as Sufia! you might be surprised. In a nutshell, shut up and let it be! save yourself.

[Mr F from @list@]

Opportunity cost dictates that we have to give up something to trade it for something else. Many people with an ability voluntarily or involuntarily trade off time and enjoyment to develop their ability. Sometimes they sacrificed things that are too important in life and come back for it later on.

Dear Sufia Yusof, take your time to find what ever that you need in your life. It is not for us to judge you.Hope you will find the magic that will eventually show you your path ahead in life.

[Jon]

Let the gal be, I believe she is definitely at peace with herself so let her be, eventually life has it's way of creeping up on you, let her come into her own at her own pace, and as a Malaysian, I say do what you gota' do Sufiah.... Live life...

[azadalai]

She has grown up. At her 23yrs, she has a lot of opportunity to decide her future life but ufortunately she choose to be extraordinary. She love it, no point for us to feel or express our sympathy to her as she never feel regret with what has she done to herself. Hopefully she will realised that she is in the wrong way. It is only time to bring her back.

[jack]

This is the trouble with you people around,try ask yourself,what all wrongs each of us have done,but Sufiah Yusof is quite a happy person and is very open about what she likes and wants to do. So back off and go about your day to day life, look after your own back yard ok. She knows what's best and is more educated than any one of you making these uncall comments. Tell you something, try spitting high into the air vertically and watch, it falls on your own face!!!

[sheila]

I'm so sad with you Sufiah...

i think we can't blame on her parents because the way are choosen by her..,
her parents just want her to become success in her life but not to make her like that.., -sex; hooker- its all depends on her.., she had the ability that just several people gifted from God..she is choosen one, we just can hope for her best life after she realize that people care about her not only her parents and family but, all muslim people in this world..
FIND THE RIGHT WAY FOR YOUR LIFE SUFIAH..

[Ahmad Ridzuan]

As a person of Malay descent, I felt it was so pleasing to see someone of an intermarriage from a Pakistani and a Malay woman from Malaysia had brought upon such an eye opener to the Islamic world. The more I found out about Ms. Sufiah Yusof Marshall whose father was also a child molester and had committed crimes that resulted him to imprisonment is the direct correlation for a family that went to much under the grips of religious fanaticism . Though most Malay will not approve of Ms. Yusof-Marshall life style, I personally feel she's happy, and contend with what she want to do, and that's all that counts and matters. The latest I came to know how the Malaysian government had orchestrated for the child prodigy to take a fame of fortune from the Mrs. Halimahton Yusof country of origin, are now on the crusading march with an army of religious clerics coming to UK to ward of evil spirit that may have taken effect on Ms. Yusof-Marshall. I hope the British Government can step right in, and put a stop to this religious clerics who wants to take any possession to drape a beautiful woman from what she wants to be. Come 19th April 2008 the religious fanatics who are clothing themselves are coming in droves to march on down to ward of evil spells that has casted and been subjected to Ms. Yusof-Marshall, and I sincerely hope the legal authority can step right in, and put a stop from a foreign instigated country like Malaysia to step right in the British monarchy. On the last note we hope Ms. Yusof-Marshall become very famous and popular and with her math genius to fall back, perhaps one day she'd become very powerful and not under a dominance of a fanatical religious stance or under false disguise of religious fanaticism.

i think that she is surrering from mental torcure from her nutty dad. She is in the stage of searching her true identity in which she finds that life in the uk promise something that's not available in malaysia. In my oppinion, it is hard to make her change but with the right move she can be cahnge for the better. It is just an auful waste of intelectuel mind for a math genius to change from an idol to someone who strp naked fro money. As i red all the articel from this website, i find she love sex and this maybe the after math of her dads wrong doings. If she can be someone better, sho meght be somebody worst.tq

Your are great and you choose to do what is best for you.

[M-Sterz]

You have such a wonderful gifted and talented brain but all that goes down to drain.

Sufiah, life is not just about living happily with what you want to be or what you want to do. We as a Muslim have certain obligation and responsibility.

Money, fame and living fabolousity is not something that we hope last forever. God can just stop you in just a split second.

You may have the money in the world but you cannot buy happiness, in a sense that you will live your life unpeaceful. You may have your dream house and expensive watches but i dont think you d feel home and i dont think you can buy time.

Yes we dont have rights to restrict you from doing what you want in life but you were an Icon to thousands of Kids back home of your genius personality. It has become their ambition to be like you, clever in Maths so that they also can be a high paid 'prostitute' sex machine with good equation formula in sex?? Think of the repercussion you have done. This is not something that you can think of yourself.

Back years when you were 13, the govt may have thought that you d be one of those greatest geek who can invent new technology like Bill Gates. But bravo, you have successfully invented sex equation for better moments of satisfaction.

But to all other people who have commented here! In Sufiah's defend, what is there to surprise? There are hundreds of the same race and nationality back in her country doing the same thing she does. What is she against many other colleague in her country doing so. So why bother?... yes but they are not as bright as her!

So Suffiah, ask yourself again..
What is your goal in life?
What is your foundation in life?
Who is your Prophet Sufiah?
What is your religion?
Which book your refer to?
I can only pray for your goodness in life as a fellow muslims for muslims... I dont blame you 100% and neither do your parents. May you lead your life a better and successful at the right path.

[jthomas]

good luck to you and do what you believe is right

[fiza]

Salam to Sufiah...

Hope one day you'll find 'the path' if it's not too late...

What petty to see a genius brain going into the drain

[melissa]

Why did so many people angry with this gurl.. I really do not understand. Why we conclude that she's in the drain. She still continue her study,.. master maybe one day taking Ph.D... then... she just like other university student having her hanky panky business.. Not like other stupidity gurl who just fucking around and get pregnant and don't get single cent out of it. Nevermind Sufiah; I pray to god you will come back to the right path one day. The people just jelous that you be honest to yourself and other people.

Unless the world has gone mad, surely there is nothing glamorous about being a hooker, least of all by a child genius.A brilliant mind trapped in the world of prostitution?

astaghfirullah....
get back to our religion before you're too late

I definitely think that a high intelligence and a high sex drive are not at all incompatible.
Why should they?

In fact I think someone needs a great capacity of abstraction to see beyond the misleading negative moral values that are associated to sex (and even more to prostitution of course). Misleading because there is actually nothing wrong about sex, it is in full correspondence with democratic values and complies with human rights (and joys).

Even so, some ancient (and present) moral majority (or powerful minority) has managed to fool great part of society for centuries and impose negative social values and taboos on sex even without valid arguments (except for diseases of course, but that's not moral).

I think it is intelligent to enjoy sex, to be honest about it and it also needs guts to go public on it, specially when you know how shocked people can get.

So if this girl enjoys sex and even makes money out of it (she's definitely worth it - and she knows) it's even more intelligent.
Wouldn't we a
