A Malaysian actor has ignited a heated debate for suggesting the establishment of brothels for foreign workers to curb rape in the country

The issue gained public attention when a snippet of Datuk Rosyam Nor making the controversial remark during a podcast called Hitam Putih Kehidupan was shared on TikTok, reported the New Straits Times.

Hitam Putih Kehidupan is a podcast hosted by Rosyam and Adzlina Hasan, an entrepreneur. The specific episode, titled "Are women addicted to porn?" discussed the issue of pornography addiction among Malaysians.

The 56-second clip began with Rosyam advocating the need for brothels in the country. As he made the statement, the podcast's guest, a psychiatrist named Aiman Amri, questioned him, asking, "Why is it needed?"

"There are about three million foreign workers who come here to work in our country, and almost all of them have left their wives behind in their home country," Rosyam explained.

"These foreign workers are mostly men, and men always have these urges, you know what I mean, right? But how can they fulfil them without their wives?" he asked.

According to Rosyam, uncontrolled emotions could lead to heinous crimes such as rape

"If they (the foreigners) look at our wives and daughters passing by, who knows, they might resort to rape. Such uncontrolled emotions could lead to repetitive thoughts playing over and over again in some of their minds," he claimed.

He further added, "When they are free, they might be watching porn as well. So if there are prostitution dens, at least they will go to such a place to address their feelings and emotions instead of being unable to control their urges and end up raping someone."

Rosyam asserted that it was just his personal view on the issue of rape crimes and asked viewers to judge for themselves.

"That is my personal opinion. But please, think about it yourselves. I could be wrong, and then again, perhaps I could be right," he said.

The video quickly gained widespread attention among netizens, with some expressing support for Rosyam's remarks while others expressed frustration and criticism

"Right, the mindset must be mature like Rosyam Nor's," said one user.

"It's true, as he said, the entertainment industry should exist for foreign workers. Don't be ashamed, this is the reality of society," commented another user, expressing support for Rosyam's view.

Meanwhile, one user wrote, "This is such a dangerous perspective from Rosyam. The issue is the male immigrants themselves. Allowing clubs just adds more problems."

"His views are very disheartening and disappointing," wrote another.

"He said maybe he's wrong, maybe he's right, and it turns out he is indeed wrong," said one user.
