Medic student selling sex to pay for fees

MORE and more medical students are turning to prostitution to pay their way through university, it was claimed yesterday.

One in ten wannabe doctors has a friend who sells sex to meet rocketing tuition and living costs.

That's up from just four per cent in 2000 and six per cent in 2006.

RM11m wasteful defence ‘consultancy’ fees

Zaid Ibrahim believes defence consultants are being used to channel corruption money gained from possible kickbacks.

Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim today demanded an explanation on the government’s need to hire consultants for defence procurement, particularly for the recent purchase of six patrol vessels (SGPVs).

Zaid, the Kita president, said as much as RM11.3 million were paid to several defence consultancy firms on the purchase in a transaction shrouded in secrecy at the expense of taxpayers money.
