Many budget sex dens in Malaysia

The mushrooming of cheap motels which offer low hourly rates is believed to play a major part in the growth of prostitution among locals and foreigners alike in the country.

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin said these cheap motels were used as a base by the prostitutes to carry out their illicit activities.   

"We don't discount the possibility that the existence of these motels, especially those which offer cheap packages, support such activities and encourage this vice among the singles.
