Girl Talks

First, someone found out that she is prostituting herself, and the news got published all over The Star.

Then, some kaypochi from some ministry in Malaysia wanted to help her. (I wonder how, and why, as if there isn’t enough of problems back at home to handle, and its not like she is a Malaysian anyway)

Then Sufiah herself says she is into it by choice. So, people, just stop all the drama about her already. 

I have no regrets, says Sufiah

PETALING JAYA: Maths prodigy Sufiah Yusof, who is now working as a prostitute, claims she is living the life she wants without any regrets.

She does not think being an escort is sleazy and terrible and says her clients treat her like a princess in an interview with British tabloid News of the World.

“People think escorting is sleazy and terrible but I don’t see it like that,” she said in a no-holds-barred interview that was published with pictures of her in skimpy attire and sexy poses. Sufiah: ‘People think escorting is sleazy and terrible but I don’t see it like that’

Sufiah claimed that she wanted to be in control of her life.

“I hate this stereotype society has of escorts as being exploited. It is so far from the truth. My clients treat me like a princess. One guy took me shopping on Bond Street. He bought me a beautiful black Gucci dress for £300 (RM1,920) and then took me to Selfridges, where I could pick a handbag I liked.”

Sufiah chose a £600 (RM3,840) Gucci clutch and later that night, she repaid him for his generosity .

The 23-year-old Sufiah, who passed her Maths A-level when she was only 12, was enrolled at St Hilda’s College in Oxford a year later.

She was working as an administrative assistant earning £16,000 (RM102,400) a year in Manchester when, about four months ago in a bar, she was asked by an “immaculate lady in a designer suit” to become an escort.

She found the offer appealing because she was running up debts of about £3,500 (RM22,400) in rent and credit card expenses.

“I have studied so intensely for so many years, I wanted to have some fun,” said Sufiah, whose Pakistani father Farooq Yusof forced her to study day and night.

The father is now in jail for sexually assaulting two pupils.

She sent her photographs to an escort website and the agency listed her. A few days later, she was offered a client.

She admitted being quite nervous, but excited as well.

Sufiah said the first client was a “lovely man” in his late 20s, tall and handsome.

“I left that night feeling totally elated having an amazing time with £250 (RM1,600) in my purse,” said Sufiah.

She has built a base of regular clients and saw between five and 10 men each week.

“I don’t believe my education had been wasted – in fact, I usually take problem sheets with me to solve before appointments,” she said.

Sufiah claimed she could earn more than £1,000 (RM6,400) a night by having dinner and staying over with a client.

“Now, I wonder if I could go back to a normal relationship, where you watch EastEnders and have boring sex. I’ve gotten used to being treated like a princess,” she said.

If Sufiah talked glowingly about her “career,” she was not so effusive when talking about her childhood and her father.

She recalled studying maths all the time. She did not have any friends or allowed to join any activities.

“As I grew older, I began to clash with my father. He was violent at times. He pushed me so far academically, I became more confident for any girl my age. I grew up too quickly.

“Oxford was an amazing place but I was too young. By the time I was 15, I wanted to be in control of my life. I fought back,” she said.

That was the year she ran away from university.

Sufiah told the News of the World she ran away with £200 (RM1,280). She found a hostel in London for £14 (RM89.60) a night. After a week, she moved to a hostel in Bournemouth.

When she was found in an Internet cafe, Sufiah refused to go home. She was placed in foster care.

When she was 18, Sufiah returned to Oxford to resume her studies. She fell in love and married fellow student Jonathan Marshall a year later.

“At that time, I thought we would be together forever, but we married too young and grew apart,” she said.

After the divorce, she moved back to London and taught maths in the evening. Six months ago, she shifted to Manchester and became an escort.

“I still enjoy learning and I find it puts me in the right frame of mind for an intelligent conversation with my clients,” she said.

Sufiah is adamant about continuing with her “career” because “I have a nice life.”

She also does not want much to do with her parents. Describing the relationship as estranged, she said she was in contact with them occasionally but “couldn’t speculate what they will think of my new life.”

“I have never felt so confident about my body and I’ve had some of the best sex of my life,” she said.

The Star

Aside from the brains that made into Oxford in a young tender age, Sufiah’s story on how she got herself into prostitution and enjoying it at the same time is somewhat similar to those escort girls who got themselves into the trade: broken family, debts and addiction to a high class lifestyle, to name a few.

Obviously, she is enjoying what she does. With her smart brains where employment shouldn’t be a problem, she made the choice and is happy with it. 

Her confession:

Shock confession of maths prodigy who turned to life of vice

‘I love being a call girl - I’m in control,’ boasts fallen child genius 

 

 

True or not, it is already in the papers. Or at least, from what I see, in The Star online here.

 

Math prodigy now a £130 hooker claim

Sufiah Yusof, the child Maths genius who won a place at Oxford University when she was just 13, has been found to be working as a prostitute, according to a report in London’s News of the World.

Sufiah, now 23, whose father Farooq is a Pakistani and mother Halimathon is from Johor, was reported to have entertained an undercover reporter in her flat in Manchester.

Claiming that she had posted her services for £130 (RM829) on the Internet, the newspaper said she had called herself Shilpa Lee on a hookers’ website. She is said to have advertised herself as “a sexy, smart student” who preferred “older gentlemen”.

The story in the newspaper comes just days after her father was jailed for sexually assaulting two 15-year-old girls as he home-tutored them in Maths.

Sufiah passed the Maths A-Level she needed for entry into Oxford at the age of 12.

Three years into Oxford, she sparked a massive police hunt after running away.

At the time her father bizarrely claimed Sufiah had been kidnapped and brainwashed by an organisation seeking the key to her intelligence.

But Sufiah sent an e-mail to her family describing her life under her father as a “living hell”.

She was found in an Internet cafe in Bournemouth where she had been working as a hotel waitress.

She refused to go back to her parents and instead was taken into the care of social services.

By then Farooq was in jail for three years for his part in a £1.5mil (RM9.57mil) mortgage swindle.

Sufiah returned to Oxford to complete the final year of her Masters in Maths but failed to finish the course after meeting trainee lawyer Jonathan Marshall.

They were married in 2004 but her parents and siblings failed to turn up. They divorced a year later.

The report, which carried grainy photographs of a semi-nude woman it claimed was Sufiah, said the girl met the reporter who posed as a client wearing a tiny skirt, leather boots and a tight T-shirt. She was carrying three mobile phones.

She also told the reporter that she was studying for a Masters degree in Economics.

Sufiah gave no indication of any sadness at the jailing of her father the previous day. On Wednesday, Farooq, 50, was sentenced to 18 months at Coventry Crown Court for touching two 15-year-old girls when he was home tutoring them.

The report quoted her friend as saying: “Sufiah has suffered so many knocks in her life. I just hope she can drag herself out of this life she has got herself into.

“She deserves a much better life than this. Her gift has been a curse.”

It is an ironic turn for an otherwise bright future indeed. I couldn’t recall the news where she made it to Oxford back then because I was too young and oblivious to the world. Being a genius really forces a young mind to mature faster than it is. It is sad that things turned out the worst, what with the constant pressure and expectations.

 

I don’t know how true the piece of news article is, but from the look of it, she has been through a lot for someone so young.

Girls, I think this news might haunt those who wanted to go for facial.

Facial treatment ends in nightmare
By LISA GOH

KUALA LUMPUR: When bank executive Chey Pik Yock signed up for a facial treatment package in November last year, she never imagined she would end up with badly damaged skin.

The treatment left her once clear skin covered with acne and scars, she said, adding that the painful procedure also caused her forehead and cheeks to swell with a burning sensation.

“During each of those treatments, which lasted from 45 minutes to an hour, the beautician would poke and squeeze out my pimples, which was very, very painful.

Before and after: Chey holding up a picture of herself before she signed up for the treatments (right) and another showing her forehead covered with acne.

“When I complained of the pain, she told me that it was a normal procedure, and that the pain and swelling would subside within two or three days,” she told a press conference held by MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong.

Chey, 25, had signed up for the facial treatment package at a salon in Kota Damansara to clear up minor pimples on her face.

The total package cost her RM1,499 for eight facial treatments, and she had paid RM700.

“After the first treatment, I was shocked to see my forehead and cheeks red and swollen, but the beautician told me it was normal.

“The beautician also sold me some products (sun block, skin action sebum gel and skin purifying masque) for RM360 which she said would help improve my skin’s condition,” she said.

In January, Chey returned to the salon twice hoping that her skin condition would improve, but instead it worsened with her skin breaking out in acne vulgaris.

On Feb 4, a doctor diagnosed her condition as “acute allergic reaction” to the facial treatment.

Chey called the beauty salon asking for a refund, “but until now, the salon manager has yet to get back to me.”

Chong said he received five similar cases last year, adding that he would contact the beauty salon involved to get a refund.

Why, oh why did she continue going to the salon after the first breakout? Wouldn’t that signal some fore of sensitivity? Didn’t she realize that the product is not suitable if it actually cause some minor breakout? Why did she go to the doctor only when the breakout become so serious? I believe those things don’t exactly pop out midnight all of a sudden.
