    Two single mothers, both Vietnamese, were fined RM2,000 each by the Magistrate’s Court in Petaling Jaya for offering sex services to a policeman. This incident occurred in a hotel room in Taman Equine, Seri Kembangan at 6pm on June 27. Magistrate Zhafran Rahim Hamzah handed down the sentence after the two masseuses, Tu Dong Thuy Hoa and Thi Lan Giang, pleaded guilty to the offense. The charges were filed under Section 372B of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of one year, a fine, or both.

    If the fines are not paid, the court also ruled that the two women would be required to serve two months in jail. During the hearing, Deputy Public Prosecutor Siti Maryam Jamilah Md Kamal argued for appropriate sentences that would serve as a deterrent to the defendants. On the other hand, lawyer MS Jasmine Faith, who represented the accused, appealed for leniency. She emphasized her clients’ remorse and their responsibility as single mothers who have to support their young children.

    This case highlights the legal consequences faced by sex workers and the challenges they encounter, particularly for single mothers. It serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing the underlying issues that lead individuals to engage in such activities. By considering rehabilitation and support for these individuals, society can work towards a more compassionate and effective approach to resolving these issues.
