An 18 year old Singaporean girl has advertised her services in an adult forum on the internet so that she will be able to raise funds to pay for her school fees.
Lately, there has been an explosion of such news about Singaporean girls going nude and posting their pictures online.
This reminds me of another famous case of a Malaysian child maths prodigy ,M/s Sufiah Yusof who at 13 went to Oxford University in the UK and later graduate to be a high class hooker.
She was working as a £130-an-hour prostitute while studying for a masters in economics.
Is it the glamorous life and the lucrative takings which pulled them to it like flies attracted to those bright lights?
She might go full time when she discovers that her beauty is worth much more than her intellect.
Why study so hard for a degree when you only get pittance and not being able to enjoy the life on the fast lane?
Even some graduates moonlight as social escorts to fast track and get what they wanted in life.
It is very fortunate in the present circumstances for the Malaysians to be able to get loans easily for further studies. Otherwise, there would be similar cases like her which may go unreported.
Sometimes it is quite difficult to know the truth as you cannot ascertain whether what you see is what you get. There are so many scams online .

This is the new disease of the 21st century. The internet age has changed the face of the Earth and many of our life's are now evolved around a computer, leading to obsessive and compulsive behaviours.
It is a cause for many divorces as their spouses spend too much time on these machines watching porn or having cyber sex or chit chatting in those chat rooms.
We are depending more and more on those computers and spending more and more of our time sitting in front of the idiot box. With the advancement in the telecommunication fields, you can go online from anywhere in the world.
BEWARE!!!
Your life will never be the same again after .....
Do you get stressed when you cannot get online ?
If you feel stressed then you have become an internet addict. If you spend too much time on the internet and neglect your other duties or make mistakes often, you are a hopeless internet addict .
Sometimes when the speed of the download is slower , you can get stressed too. You can get stressed when you have written a full post and then suddenly there is a power outage or your post goes missing after you have uploaded it.
Psychologists studying the high stress levels caused by internet dependency have dubbed the phenomenon 'discomgoogolation'.
They define it as a 'feeling of distress or anxiety when unable to gain immediate information access'.
What are the tell tale signs of a internet addict?
When you forget to eat or suffer from a lack of sleep because you spend too many hours online. You need to upgrade your machine and have withdrawal symptoms when you cannot get online
When you get edgy and have little patience due to the fatigue.
Most of us consider the internet as an integral part of our life. We use it to send e-mails, play games, blog or read and surf the net for info's and news or watch porn. We spend a better part of our free time blogging or chit chatting up with others .
Some psychiatrists have claimed that obsessive internet use is such a serious a public health problem that it should be officially recognised as a clinical disorder.

Precaution is better than cure. It is better to be safe than to be sorry. With today's crooks going high tech and crafty , one has to know how not to be a victim of ID fraud.
It can take one silly mistake and you may lose everything you have accumulated in your whole life.Nobody will be more sorry than you for being so stupid and ignore those safety precautions when you are dealing with those credit cards or online transactions.
It is a case of pound foolish and penny wise. You want to save a bit from installing the best and effective anti virus and internet security software and the result can be devastating when your ID is stolen and you lose much more than paying for a good security system to protect your computer.
You should never give your personal informations online or on those social bookmarking sites nor on the telephone or SMS where those fraudsters can trick you .
BE SAFE
Precaution is better than cure. It is better to be safe than to be sorry.
You need to protect yourself and not let those crooks skimmed you off. This author ,Kara Gammell has written a very good and concise post on how to prevent fraud and you should head over there to read and implement those steps.
Having a good anti virus and internet security system on your computer is paramount . You can do your online transaction with peace of mind. There are so many viruses, Trojan horses and hackers out there .
It is never safe if you have installed a free copy as they have only the minimum defense and cannot completely safeguard your computer from attacks. Kaspersky seems to be the best and a hot seller for now.
Don't procrastinate and don't be a miser!It is like buying insurance.A small amount for your peace of mind. You can sleep sounder and enjoy your dreams better !
