As the news of nude Sufiah grace the front page of our papers - complete with quick reponse of our government bodies - I too felt compelled to respond, even if in a slightly different tone than those commonly quoted -
- What's the big deal about her being nude on the net, if we don't care about the hundreds if not thousands, young Malaysian girls baring their stuff from here?
-What about those allegations, and the many, many alleged 'expose' of local university students who sold their bodies to feed themselves? Why haven't there been any serious and full blown action taken to help them, to coax them to come back 'into the light', to offer them scholarships, to provide safe lodging for them? Why? Why, Dr Mashitah? Why, why Mr Home Affairs minister?
-Why did we waste so many hundred thousand dollars to help this brit chit, when we know so many bright malaysians need that scholarship, and in a better place to help this country? Just because the mother is malaysian?
GET REAL!

Was kind of shocked when I read about what had happened to Sufiah, the math whiz that went to Oxford University at the age of 13.
It's sad to see a person who has so much future doing something like this.
When I first saw her in the newspaper, she was a cheery 13-year-old girl smiling brightly at the camera together with her family. That time, I want to be just like her. She's a math genius while I have hard time trying to memorize the complex math’s formula. At 13, she received full sponsorship to study at the world's renowned university while I'm struggling with my exam. I'm so jealous of her back then.
Who knows how much she had suffered all this years? Clearly, no one knows.
Same goes to everyone else out there, despite the beauty, happiness, wealth and everything that we see are normally just the surface. We wouldn't how much one suffers beneath it. So to all the people that I've judged by just looking at the surface, I'm sorry and may God helps Sufiah and bring her back to her feet.
