HendryTan Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 https://malaysia.news.yahoo.com/home-ministry-seizes-rm70-000-052358978.html Home Ministry seizes RM70,000 worth of sex toys nationwide, Johor tops the list Ben Tan, Thu, 15 February 2024 at 1:23 pm JOHOR BARU, Feb 15 — The Home Ministry seized over 2,295 units of sex toys with an estimated value of RM70,000, after several raids in Johor, Sarawak, Penang and Perak. The operations by the ministry’s enforcement and control division were conducted between January 18 and February 6 and also included a storage area that was used to keep the banned items. Home Ministry enforcement and control division secretary Nik Yusaimi Yussof said the latest raid in Masai, Johor had revealed that the sex toys were being sold openly to the public. He said that the premises involved were selling the sex toys alongside with cosmetics, health and souvenirs items, including as online sales. The seizures will be investigated under Section 7(1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 for eroding moral values. The ministry will also investigate the cases under Section 292 of the Penal Code for distribution and sales of obscene items. “We have arrested three women and a man, who are believed to be business owners in their 30s, to assist with the investigation,” he said during a media conference at the Johor Home Ministry’s Complex in Setia Tropika here today. Nik Yusaimi said the ministry’s enforcement and controls division will step up enforcement against the distribution and sale of sex toys nationwide. He explained that the sex toys were sold for as low as RM50 to RM300 and are suspected of being imported from China to meet the market demand. “Sales of such items are prohibited in the country as it goes against the values and culture of our society. “It is feared that the sale of such sex toys will bring a negative impact on society, especially the young,” he said. On the operations against the sex toys, Nik Yusaimi said Johor recorded the most seizures with 2,012 units worth RM37,350. He said this made it the biggest seizure for the year as it also involved raids on storage areas. Nik Yusaimi said the other recent raids involved a raid on a shop inside a shopping centre in Kuching, Sarawak on January 17 where 135 units of sex toys with an estimated value of RM10,890.50 were seized. He added two other raids were carried out in shopping centres in Bayan Lepas, Penang and Ipoh, Perak on February 6 where the ministry recorded seizures of 102 units (RM15,372) and 46 units (RM6,050) respectively. For last year, the Home Ministry’s enforcement and control division were reported to have seized various types of sex toys which were worth a total of RM1.3 million.

Steve5380 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 LOL! Such an outburst of "morality"!! Isn't the Malaysian government concerned that eliminating sex toys may increase sex between living bodies, increasing STDs and pregnancies? anxiousfriedtofu and Hungrybtms2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singalion Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 1 hour ago, funky beaver said: Under which Singapore law it is not allowed? That law has changed since Singapore has sex shops / aehem adult shops. The government realised that sex toys increases sex resulting eventually in a better procreation rate... If I remember correct, the law changed in 2014 when URA set guidelines for the operation of an adult shop. Now sex toys can be brought into Singapore for personal use: Can Sex Toys be Imported Into Singapore? The law remains unclear on whether sex toys can be imported into Singapore, but sections 292(1)(a) and 292(1)(b) of the Penal Code prohibit the import of any obscene object for the purposes of sale, hire, distribution, transmission, public exhibition or circulation. Hence, while it appears that sex toys cannot be imported into Singapore for sale, bringing a sex toy into Singapore for personal use is likely not prohibited. https://singaporelegaladvice.com/law-articles/sex-toys-sex-dolls-legal-singapore/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably he is still scrolling through the magazine to jerk onto the pictures with the ladies in bikinis etc... It didn't have any obscene cover or anything...

Yes, and of course URA set guidelines for the operation of an adult shop in 2014! Perhaps SMRT will also start flying planes in the year 2024 too?

Guest What U think? Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 I have a 2nd thought on this matter. By outlawing unproductive sexual devices and encouraging people to engage in genuine sex and procreate, it might help them become more populous. If your fertility rate is poor, Singapore might want to consider banning sex toys? Then again, we have already banned Chewing Gum, and that has already kept Global tongue waging till this day.
