UKM sex survey: A few lessons to be learnt


FACTUAL

1. The sentence "THE storm that had broken over an early release of the draft report of a survey commissioned by the Institute Perkembangan Minda (InMind), and carried out by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Dr Khaidzir Ismail, shows no sign of abating". (We can check the statement to the source given.)
2. The most "shocking and controversial" result that reportedly came out of the High-Risk Female Youth Profile study was that only one out of 887 girls surveyed admitted to being a virgin. (there got statistic from the High-Risk Female Youth Profile Study)
3. The Menteri Besar of Selangor, the Minister of Women, Family and Community Development, and others have waded in. (the staement can be proved by Menteri Besar of Selangor, the Minister of Women, Family and Community Development.)
4. The All Women’s Action Society (Awam) is much dismayed by the overwhelming focus on girls and girl's sexuality. ( It was the purpose for All Women's Action Society (AWAM) )

OPINION

1. Morality is not just about sex and sexuality. In the larger sense, morality is also about ethics, good governance, transparency and accountability. (the sentence is just beliefs not based on absolute certainty or positive knowledge but on what seems to be true)
2. So we are gravely concerned by reports that the state authorities ordered officers to contact the participants of the survey to "verify" whether they have had sex.( the sentence has no specific evident)
3. If the concern is teenage premarital sex, then both boys and girls have to be studied before any awareness programmes may be designed. ('if' shows that the writer did not sure... so it just the opinion of the writer)
4. Was there a similar research focusing on boys in the first place, conducted simultaneously with the research on girls? If there is a need for a "special training module to promote high moral values" among girls, surely this will apply equally to boys? With regard to the size and make-up of the sampling: how were the respondents selected? (Questions are not the fact...)
