RM 3 billions prostitution market only “activities” to Bukit Aman?

Media Statement by Yeo Bee Yin, State Assemblyperson for Damansara Utama on Monday, 22 September 2014 in Petaling Jaya.

How can RM 3 billions prostitution market not an “industry” but “activities” to Bukit Aman?

I am greatly disturbed by Bukit Aman’s response to the video “Trapped – The Underage Sex Industry in Malaysia” as reported by The Star Online today. The Secret Societies, Gambling and Vice Division principal assistant director SAC Datuk Roslee Chik was quoted in the news portal to say that sex is not an “industry” but only “activities” as it is “not that big”.

Nevertheless, Havocscope, an international organization that specializes in collecting global black market information, estimates that the size of the black market value of prostitution in Malaysia amounts to USD 963 million [2].  Is RM 3 billions sex trade market not big enough for it to be considered an “industry” to Bukit Aman?
