A young teenaged girl was a prostitute and, for obvious reasons, kept it a secret from her grandma. One day, the police raided a brothel and arrested a group of prostitutes, including the young girl.

1) The political parties and their leaders in Sabah and Sarawak not only need to go back to the drawing board.  They need a massive revamp of their thinking and ideologies.  Even on the agenda of autonomy, it  is just not autonomy alone but things like own Sabah and Sarawak system within the Federal system. If you look at the Federation of Malaya Constitution and the Malaysia Agrt with the 18/20 Points Memorandum, very different federal systems was envisaged in 1963.  It was just not a federation within a federation.  Even in an "equal" federation" like in Canada, Quebec has its own education system and is  French-speaking compared to the rest of Canada which is English-based.
