WHEN a backbencher talked about the prevalence of homosexual activities in his debate on the motion on the Mid-Term Review Report of the Ninth Malaysia Plan, he did more than just raise a topic.
He also raised a few eyebrows. Some MPs were even seen exchanging smiles.
Datuk Ab Rahman Dahlan (BN-Kota Belud) said the Government should take steps to inform the public about the prevalence of such activities, to the extent that some toilets in shopping malls had become their haunts.
“According to a local Malay tabloid, many of the homosexuals paid to enter public toilets and engage in their activities there. One security guard was quoted as saying that those involved were usually young men.
“And if you go to certain hotels in the city, many foreign tourists can be seen bringing young males up to their rooms after 11pm. Most often, these males are young Malay men,” he said.
Ab Rahman said that similar to how it had acted against scourges like HIV/AIDS and drug addiction, the Government had to come out in the open and admit that homosexuality was a problem in the country.
“This is so that the rakyat can start to accept the fact that we do have a problem with rampant homosexual activities,” he pointed out.
Ab Rahman also urged the people to sympathise with the family members of homosexuals for their suffering.

Is it just me, or is there something wrong with the statement above?
We chartered a boat for a half-day tour of the mangrove. It’s comparatively cheaper to charter a boat if you have a large group compared to paying for each person.
Further up the river we arrived at a fish farm called Hole in the Wall for lunch. The farms were actually nets that go deep in the water. We were promptly given a tour for a farm staff. The first net we stopped at had stingrays that we were told we could feed. No one volunteered save for my husband. He was given a small fish and told to hold it above the water and all of a sudden, a stingray practically jumped out of the water for the fish! Whoa! I had no idea stingrays could do that! After the tour of the farm, we ordered our seafood from the farm and had them cooked it for us for our lunch. 
On the way back we stopped at a spot to watch brown and white Brahminy eagles circling overhead before gracefully swooping down to feed on the chicken parts thrown by the boatman. These regal birds are a joy to watch.
This tour offered one of the most fascinating and unforgettable sights of Langkawi. The kids especially were thrilled by their adventure!
