Dalam kita sibuk dengan pelbagai ancaman terhadap orang
Melayu serta umat Islam di Malaysia ini, kita lupa satu masalah besar yang
berlaku di sekeliling kita, di sekolah anak-anak kita. Kajian terkini Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
mendapati masalah seks bebas di kalangan pelajar sekolah semakin serius. Malangnya
khutbah-khubtah Jumaat di Malaysia sudah beku, tepu, membosankan, khatib tidak
dilatih berkhutbah memberi kesedaran kepada jemaah betapa seriusnya gejala
sosial di sekolah anak-anak para jemaah yang datang solat Jumaat.

UTM survey finds secondary school teenagers with multiple
sex partners
JOHOR BARU: A sex survey by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)
has found an alarming number of sexually active secondary school students with
multiple sex partners.
“We carried out the research in 2011 among 1,000 secondary
school students (aged 15 to 17) in 50 schools statewide.
“About 10% admitted they had sexual intercourse and some
admitted to having intercourse with multiple partners,” said UTM Education
faculty lecturer Faizah Abd Ghani, who headed the research.
She added students who took part in the research also
admitted practising “friends with benefits” (friends with sexual relationships
without emotional attachments).
Faizah revealed this at a press conference here yesterday to
introduce a self-help kit aimed at tackling the issue of casual sex among
teenagers in the country.
Called Model Sayangku, the kit includes a book on how to
overcome sexual needs and a log book for the youngsters to write down their
progress in overcoming the issue.
The book, which took four months to complete, is based on
the university's findings and uses Islamic values and verses from the Quran to
teach students the importance of self-value.
Faizah said the findings also correlated to cases of baby
dumping and abortions among teenagers.
“A recent report from the Islamic Development Department of
Malaysia (Jakim) showed some 257,000 babies were born out of wedlock in the
country from 2002 to 2012.
Their races were not stated.
“All this can be connected to sexually active teenagers,”
she said.
Faizah said the research showed teenagers wanted to be in
relationships due to factors including physical attraction and friendship,
“Most counsellors at schools are not well-equipped to
address sexual issues and we hope this kit will provide guidelines to overcome
this problem,” she said, adding that all students who took part in the survey
were given a copy.
Faizah said the kit had received positive feedback from the
Johor Education Department and the Education Ministry.
