Mahathir promotes safe sex abroad

KUALA LUMPUR (DPA): Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on Friday
ticked off Malaysian men who had sex with prostitutes abroad
without caring if they might infect their wives with sexually
transmitted diseases like AIDS.

He said Malaysians on holiday abroad should shop and sightsee,
but should refrain from getting involved with women who might
infect them with the AIDS-causing HIV virus.

"I very much regret that Malaysians are going to Haadyai (in
southern Thailand) merely to seek pleasure. I ask our people, if
you go overseas, do not do that bad thing. There are many other
ways for entertainment," he said.

"Love your life. And those with families, think of your wife
and children. Do not pawn your life for pleasure that will last
only a little while," he was quoted as saying by the Bernama news
agency.
