From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sufiah Yusof aka Shilpa Lee (born 1985) is a prostitute and former math prodigy from Britain.
The administration of former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad had viewed Sufiah as the perfect eugenics ideal, in contrast to the Malay Dilemma of genetic shortcomings.
Biography
Sufiah Yusof first made headlines in 1997 when she gained entry into St. Hilda’s College, Oxford University to read mathematics at the age of 13.[1][2] Her father Farooq Yusof was a pioneer in the scientifically unproven tutoring process called hothousing.
Despite being a British national, the Malaysian government had generously stepped in to meet her educational expenses[3], although it was known that her Pakistani-born father had incurred criminal convictions for mortgage-related frauds. She was lionized as a model Islamic prodigy by the Malaysian public due to her mother’s national origins.
In 2001, she ran away from her student flat in Oxford, after taking her final examination paper for the academic year.[4] She was found working as a waitress in a Bournemouth Internet cafe two weeks later, but refused to return home, alleging that her parents made life difficult for her at home.[5] She stayed with a foster family instead.
Two years later, she returned to Oxford to complete her undergraduate master, but failed to finish the year. She later married a trainee lawyer from Oxford. She was working at the time as an administrative assistant for a construction company. Her marriage ended after 13 months.
Sufiah’s father Farooq pleaded guilty in April 2008 over charges of "indecently assaulting two 15-year-old girls while working as a personal tutor."[6] He had previously promised "more Sufiahs" along a production-line process utilizing hothousing techniques.
In March 2008, a reporter working undercover for the News of the World found her advertising as a prostitute quoting a rate of £130 an hour.[7][8] One of her friends described her change of fortunes as "desperately heartbreaking", adding that "her gift [for mathematics] really has been a curse".[9]
The Malaysian government is now planning an ambitious "Save Sufiah Programme" to rehabilitate Sufiah and "return her to the right path."[10]
Malay Community Association of United Kingdom began funds to support ‘Love Suffiah’ Campaign. A delegation from Malaysia headed by Ustaz Trimizi Zainal will depart Malaysia on 19th April to treat Sufiah using Islamic Medical practice, as they believe she is under the influence of black magic.[11]

‘Sedih tatkala aku membacanya, dan meletakkan diri aku sebagai seorg rakyat malaysia, juga seorg muslim.’
aku berdoa, juga berharap…
agar tanah tumpah air ku aman dan makmur..
juga bebas,
dari keputusan kurang bijak,
maksiat, penindasan, kemunduran dan pembaziran..
(cikawin,23/03/2008)
dan mungkin juga,lebih tepat, drp kebodohan.
pertolongan boleh diberi, tapi jgn sampai maruah bangsa, negara n islam diinjak. negara diperli, di atas.
(opss, cikawin sensitif pasal islam, m’sia dan melayu… don’t mess wif me..)
ramai lagi org yg memerlukan dan menghulur tangan minta dibantu. menggapai2 tangan mengharap pertolongan. seperti biasa, keputusan kurang bijak diambil. aku cakap camtu kenapa? sbb bantuan diberi (berusaha diberi) kepada yg x mau dibantu.
"Allah takkan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum kecuali mereka berusaha mengubahnya"
tentang sufiah, apa aku nak cakap: itu pilihan hidup dia. dan dia x pilih cara hidup paling bijak dan selamat (Islam Is The Way Of Life), walaupun dia bijak math. dgn semua rumus dan persamaan yg dia master, dia x dapat "menilai" harga sebuah kehidupan- dunia dan akhirat. apatah lagi membandingkan keduanya. opss, cikawin rabun math. hehehe…
patut la kita belajar, ‘manusia yang paling bijak adalah org yg sentiasa mengingati mati’, sebab apa, dia dapat menilai kehebatan dan kebesaran ganjaran Allah yg menanti di akhirat sana, x pnah dan x kan sama dgn keseronokan dunia, yg semua org tau-hanya sementara..org2 ini, memilih jalan hidup yang lebih bijak. semua org ada masalah, cikawin pun ada masalah. cuma yg membezakan kita ialah bagaimana kita menghadapinya…tiada alasan utk rosakkan diri kerana masalah. memang perlu cari duit, tapi..
matlamat tak menghalalkan cara~!
aku doakan, jalan yg lurus buat dia. kita x layak menghukum atau menghina, kerana sejarah membuktikan bahawa pelacur juga seorg islam selagi dia beriman. dan selagi pintu taubat belum tertutup, taubat seorg pelacur juga diterima.
Islam itu Indah.
tapi ini bukan alasan untuk terus melakukan dosa dan maksiat..
peringatan utk cikkawin ku dan semua yg membaca..
maaf atas post ni yg mungkin menyentuh sensitiviti sesiapa yg membaca. aku tau apa yg aku cakap ada benar dan tidaknya. ambil yg jernih buang yg keruh.
