sex education Malaysia

this topic has long been a debate at school level, colleges, universities and among politicians as well as academicians. Different people with different paradigm came up with opposite views. Some remain obstinate to ones opinion. Well to me, one must be flexible in discussing this matter. Take a step back and try to analyze it through multiple paradigm. As a muslim of course i have to take religious views into consideration.

short answer : i agree with the implementation of the sex education in Malaysia's school.
Long answer :

1. Sex education sound so negative isn't it ? so we have to clarify the definition of what is actually a sex education. Is it to teach students how to do sex? I bet any sound mind would give a no for this one. Is it a teaching to promote chastity, to educate student of the danger of having sex outside marriage? -plausible-
   Is it a way to educate students of what sexual harassment like ? -plausible- Is it to teach the student if ever they decide to have sex, do it with cautions as to avoid consequences like child out of wedlock which will later lead to abortion ? -plausible-
   
2. Well, if it is exactly like the plausible reasons i've listed above, then why do we have to oppose?
3. Interesting remarks from this article http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/nik-aziz-sex-education-is-like-teaching-thieves-how-to-steal/ " sex education is like teaching thieves to steal" . Well, if it is to teach how to do sex, then it is exactly like the saying.
   
4. In this article, it mentioned about islamic ways of teaching sex, like separating room between boys and girls siblings and wearing Hijab.
5. But how do you prevent students from surfing porn sites? or teaching girls that certain type of contact is sexual?
   
6. The answer is definitely through sex education.
   
7. Prevention is the best and it will remain better than cure. Just like exercise and healthy diet to prevent heart diseases. But what if a person already has the disease? We have to provide him with cure and at the same time promote preventive measures to curb disease progression. Right ?
   
8. So, my stand is : Say YES to sex education and at the same time promote preventive measures exactly like the way islam teaches us.
9. Now, although sex education seems like a good measure to me, it won't be a success unless we have trained teachers to deliver it the best way. Please read this article : http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/3/2/nation/20100302153140&sec=nation
   

Conclusion :
Please have a healthy discussion among religious preachers, politicians, teachers etc as to make sure the ultimate goal to produce a better society can be materialized. Take into consideration that our society comprise of multiple races. As for me, for now YES to sex education is my stand unless someone can come up with points that may lead me to believe otherwise.
