Buchholz Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Sources said the girl had told officials from the Thai police that she was a Malaysian. As she did not possess any identification documents, they had to check with the Malaysian Embassy, which then confirmed that she was reported missing in Malaysia. http://www.straitsti...ory_779632.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchholz Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Malaysian Embassy working with Thai police to track down prostitution syndicate The Malaysian Embassy in Bangkok is working with the Thai police to track down the prostitution syndicate involved in the kidnapping of a Malaysian girl, Malaysian Ambassador to Thailand Datuk Nazirah Hussain said. “What they did to our citizen is cruel, even more so when the victim is a minor,” she told Bernama when contacted. “How did they manage to bring a teenager past the international border? We need to investigate this,” she said. Bernama contacted her for a comment in the wake of the rescue of a Malaysian girl, 14, by the Thai police at Hua Lampong Railway Station in Bangkok after escaping from an international prostitution syndicate.

Popular Post antipodesant Posted March 21, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2012 Buy bear in mind that if Thai "culture" was not as it actually exists there would be no market for girls of this age. Thai's (often Thai women) very often exploit young Thai females including selling their own daughters for pecunariary gain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GentlemanJim Posted March 21, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2012 I fear for the girls future. If she is Muslim then returning home will be a catch 22 for her. Who will marry her, how will the family actually react? Sadly if she belonged to a Saudi family they would simply disown her now. Fingers crossed that her Mum and Dad put parenting before religion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the Malay Muslims that I know would be terrified for their child and wrap her in cotton wool for ever more. You can not judge all Muslim people by the tittle tattle scare mongering you read in the press. One can only assume she did not get past immigration but came in illegally. Good work to the police for acting. Maybe they will pay more attention to the cesspit Pattaya as well and clean up the under age market there AS WELL AS going after the trade in underage girls for local consumption which far outstrips anything targeted at farang sex tourists. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) It looks like there's a further article on this from the original OP publication. Seems she was in the hands of the bad people for give or take six weeks... Not likely good for the girl... Curious that the articles seem to make no mention of even what nationality the kidnappers may have been. Presumably some of the victimized girls would have some idea of that based on the language being spoken, appearances or otherwise. Wednesday March 21, 2012 Kidnapped teen too traumatised to speak By A. RUBAN [email protected] SHAH ALAM: The 14-year-old girl who was kidnapped and sent to Thailand is traumatised and unable to speak to the police. Shah Alam OCPD Asst Comm Zahedi Ayob said the girl was in hospital and responding well to treatment. “However, she cannot remember much. She only told us that she was abducted in a white van from Section 9,” he told reporters at the district police headquarters here yesterday. The teen was found with five other girls from Myanmar at the Hua Lampong train station in Bangkok on March 11 and arrived back home on Monday. “We hope the Thai authorities will send the Myanmar citizens here so that we can probe further. We are investigating if these teenagers were also kidnapped the same day that the girl was abducted,” ACP Zahedi said. He refused to confirm if the teen was kidnapped by a child sex trafficking syndicate, but said the case was being investigated under Section 366 of the Penal Code for kidnapping for the purpose of prostitution. ACP Zahedi said the Myanmar teenagers, aged between 15 and 17, were currently under the custody of UNHCR in Bangkok. The Form Three girl was abducted on Jan 30 after her mother dropped her off at a bus stop here at around 1pm. When her daughter did not return home, the 37-year-old mother lodged a police report the following day at the Shah Alam police headquarters. On March 12, the girl called her mother to say that she was in Thailand and had escaped from her captors. http://thestar.com.m...6252&sec=nation Edited March 21, 2012 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up and let's save more innocent children. Yep, and will be an even better story when the kidnappers are locked up, which is a tall order of course. It involves the scouts and kidnappers in Malaysia, the handlers in Thailand, and the king pin. ... and whoever helped lubricate the entry to Thailand. Many players in this for sure. The "king pin" could be a queen pin, like that bitch exposed in the excellent CNN feature on slave labour shown last summer. My god, was she a piece of work. F****** bitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEL1 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yeah, good job by the BKK Police. What about the immigration border police? What about them? Maybe, just maybe, a shed load are on the payrolls of traffickers? Bad job by the police, in that case! My first question when reading, was also asked by the Malaysian authorities, "How the hell did she get in, without paperwork?" OK, smuggled. It's still a poor job by the border police! However, glad she and her co-captured are safe. -mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think that the prostitution was aimed at "sex tourists" and not Thais, a much larger market? If you ever get to Sadao or Sungai Kolok you will find a thriving sex industry mainly used by Malaysians 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangFerang Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Last year, I read a news story that was baffling. It stated that a survey had been done of underage sex workers, and that all the Thais involved were very surprised the primary customers of these underage sex workers were Cambodian and Vietnamese. At the time, I wondered "who has tabs on these kids and no one helps them?" Secondly, I thought that means the worst sex tourists are Asian, not Western, which is not the consensus among ferang or Thais here. I never could fully grasp how information like that, and this story, could exist and no one is accountable? It's even more baffling today. I'm filing it in the drawer of tragic paradoxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anterian Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 If we assume that underage sex workers, forced or otherwise are targeted at those with paedophile tastes, further most potential western customers know that Thailand is no longer a paradise for their tastes, then the implication is that these girls are intended for Thai consumption. Particularly as both Burmese and Malay girls will speak some degree of English and could ask for help from western customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
