Prostitution in Malaysia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prostitution is illegal in Malaysia. Demand for prostitution has created a problem of people trafficking from China and other nearby countries.[1][2][3] Sexual services, however, are widely available and laws banning prostitution remain largely unenforced.[4][5][6] Many pimps now ply their trade on the internet.[7]
