Canteen helper sells her body to support family
A WOMAN who works as a canteen helper in the morning works as a prostitute at night to support her family, China Press reported.
The lady, who wished to be known only as Fatimah, 22, said she had to support her husband, who is an odd-job worker, and their one-year-old son.
“Besides that, I will have to foot my old folks’ medical bills,” she said, adding that she had been prostituting herself for more than three years in Alor Setar.
Fatimah, from Pahang, said she was forced to be a prostitute by her former boyfriend, and charged her customers RM80 each time.
“However, I am getting older and also have given birth. Now, I can only charge RM50,” she said, adding that her customers were aged between 13 and 70.
The daily reported that Fatimah’s dream was to save enough money to start a new life in three years’ time.
