Should we do something? In name of Malaysia and Islam

Shock or terrified? I dont know which is my impression when i passed a book store today.

Harian Metro, front page ”Tersungkur di lembah hina “

LONDON: Dia dikenali sebagai kanak-kanak genius matematik dan mendapat tempat di Universiti Oxford ketika usianya baru 13 tahun. …

Yes, she once a malaysian sweetheart, eventhough there are voices questioning was her? Her now-in-jail father is a Pakistan. The man who responsible to create her and her mathematical genius (i would say ability).

What actually happens to her? Most important, who discover her? And was she related to us? Related to Malaysia?

Googling her wasnt a difficult task, not many site have her story so for me the analysist would be simple and much easier to get to the prime source. Till the time I am writing, only a bunch of people had commented on her and mine would be another next.

According to them, sufiah story had been published by UK Newspaper, News of The World and The Telegraph, the article was written by the same author, Megan Levy. But both sources didn’t actually tell her real story I think. And I doubt if she knows that she’s being interview. This surfaced another doubt, was she is the real Sufiah Yusuf? The article started on how their spy had met Sufiah and how she stripped her clothes to her skin and dance on the bed. Then, on how sufiah have admitted to Oxford, thanks to her father’s famous Accelerated Learning Technique. The papers also described sufiah’s father as “her domineering dad Farooq” and unfortunately he was jailed for sexually assaulting two 15-year-old girls as he home-tutored them in maths.
I read the article at news of the world more than 5 times (and please, not because of the pictures), and still i cant help questioning was she Sufiah Yusuf? Maybe, only her mother who could verify the picture.But I am glad, she was never ever be described as a Malaysian or a Melayu in both of the prime sources.

Well, for any further reading, you could go here

News Of The WorldThe Telegraph

Update 01 April 2008: Utusan Malaysia today had interview Sufiah’s relative here in Johor, Malaysia. They was on her mother side .

Another article related to Sufiah story is a pschologist opinion over what Sufiah thinks.

Update 02 April 2008 : The Ministers had open their mouths. Dato Zahid Hamidi,Minister at Prime Minister Department says, Malaysian Goverment are finding ways to help Sufiah since it was such a waste if we let her be. And they believe, the life she ran is not the one she want. Read more.

Update 03 April 2008 : Googling “sufiah yusuf” or “shilpa lee” would only returned lame news. Malaysian newspaper also repeating the same point of her story. Today they said sufiah had stop her study since 2000, which already being reported in News of The World. I’m thinking that malaysia’s reporter had nothing else to write but thier editor still firing the reporter’s ass for more story. And the editors are happy still eventhough thier stuff just copy, translate and paste.

I’m quite seeing from far where Sufiah’s Story would end. When next week come, people would forget about her as what happen tu Sharlinie, Atlantuya, Norita (all were female?) etc. Pitty to Asmawi @ Awie, the boy who missing at MidValley, lack media coverage been given to him, I wonder if people knew that Awie had dissappear as they know Sharlinie?
