Why Sex Education not being emphasized in Malaysia?

Sex Education for youth is an absolute must. We all think that sex education is somethings you learn when you are in elementary school and that is it. But the reality is that is not enough to learn the mechanics of sex or to learn clinical aspects of reproduction, birth control and sexually transmitted diseases. This is necessary in order for us to become better at sex. And the better we become at sex, the more fulfiling our lives will be.


Although we realise the importance of sex education, but the question is why it is not being emphasized in Malaysia.


Just like my group members said, there are many reasons that why this happen. For me, the main reason is our culture and environment factors. As we know that mostly Malaysian still have the conservative thinking. This makes us unable to accept this concept. We cannot deny that even the western countries, their social illness is quite serious but at least they are willing to accept this knowledge.


In China, they are launching a campaign to break sex taboo. Adapted to Reuters Life, China launched a national sex education campaign aimed at breaking traditional taboos and getting more people to seek treatment for STIs. Many of Malaysian think that our children would go the wrong way if they are educated about sex. But ignorance about sex is far more dangerous than guidance and the social illness in Malaysia will keep on increasing.
