Isu Minggu Ini: Sex Blogger

Sudah lama aku tidak menulis dalam blog ni. Sebabnya? Aku terlalu sibuk dengan kerjaku yang membawa aku ke sana dan ke sini sehinggakan kerjaku sendiri di office berlambak-lambak dan tertunggak. Tidak lama lagi akan dibisingkanlah aku oleh bosku yang garang itu... Haha.

Anyway, terdapat isu menarik minggu ini yang menjadi kegilaan ramai terutama penduduk Malaysia dan di Singapura. Ia berkaitan dengan sex blogger yang juga menamakan diri mereka sebagai Alvivi atau Sumptuous Erotica. Maaf ya, sekiranya anda mencari blog ini yang menggunakan platform tumblr, ia tidak akan dijumpai lagi kerana telah dipadamkan oleh pemiliknya yang pengecut itu.

Ceritanya bermula apabila blog ini dihidu oleh pihak media di Singapura dan dikeluarkan dalam akhbar-akhbar arus perdana di sana. Disebabkan salah seorang pelaku sumbang ini rakyat Malaysia, maka tempias isu ini juga menjadi hangat di negara kita.

Ia melibatkan 2 ekor binatang orang berbangsa Cina bernama Alvin Tan Jye Yee, jantan berumur 24 tahun warga Malaysia, dan Vivian Lee, perempuan berumur 23 tahun berasal dari Singapura. Kedua-dua mangkuk ini adalah pasangan bercinta selama lebih kurang 6 bulan. Namun, kedua-duanya telah melakukan hubungan seks atas kerelaan masing-masing kerana dasar cinta (kononnya). Namun, apa yang mengejutkan, mereka telah mengambil gambar dan merakam aksi mereka dalam bentuk video dan postkan dalam laman blog milik mereka! OMG!

Selepas cerita perilaku ini disebarkan, mereka mendakwa blog mereka menerima jumlah trafik yang agak tinggi. Ramai yang mencemuh, tidak kurang juga ada manusia yang menyokong perilaku jijik mereka ini.

Hari ini, dalam akhbar thestar online, cerita mereka dihangatkan lagi dengan kenyataan perempuan ini, seperti berikut:-

Vivian Lee defends postings of her erotic pictures and videos with boyfriend

PETALING JAYA: Vivian Lee, the woman who posted nude and erotic pictures and videos of herself and her boyfriend on their blog, has no regrets making her sexual life an open book.

“I see nothing wrong in posting the nude pictures and videos of our sexual relationship on the Internet. It was intended for the world to see how much we love each other. I cannot understand why people have to make so much fuss about this. It is our private affair,” she said.

Lee, 23, and her boyfriend of six months Alvin Tan Jye Yee, 24, caused a cyber furore when their postings on their blog Sumptuous Erotica became viral and was caught on by the Singapore media.

“To us, the pictures on the blog were a work of art. We are open-minded people and we just want to share this with the world. We want them to see how pretty it was.”

Lee said she failed to understand why people had different perceptions on Asians when they posted such images in cyberspace.

“It is all right for Westerners to do this but not Asians. This is double standard. I cannot understand why people have to judge us.”

She said Asians should not be too conservative but be open about their sex life.

“There is nothing wrong talking about or having sex. It is a normal thing between two consenting adults. There should not be any stigma when a couple wants to talk or be frank about this. I cannot understand why this has to be blown out of proportion and sensationalised.”

Lee, who is staying with her parents in Johor Baru, said they never anticipated their blog to become so prominent overnight.

“It was not done for commercial purposes. It was simply for fun and love. When we started the blog in September, we got a small following, mostly from Westerners. But three weeks into the postings and after more pictures and videos were uploaded, Singaporean and Malaysian Internet users got wind of it, and in less than two days, the site went viral, followed by exposure by the Singapore media.”

Lee said they had no choice but to shut down the blog due to pressure from their parents.
“My parents were upset when they found out about it in the newspapers. I got the mother of all scoldings.

“However, they are calmer now and have fully accepted my actions.”

Lee appealed to the media to leave her parents and family alone and stop harassing them.
“They have nothing to do with this. Please don't haunt them.”

Lee said she was unafraid to face the consequences of her actions. She would continue to live life “as though nothing had happened”, she said.

“I don't care about what people think or say about me or their perception of who I am. I don't care if men stare or ogle when I am out in public. Neither am I embarrassed for being the girl in the erotic pictures and videos.”

Lee, who just finished her business studies and is now looking for a job, said the uproar would not stop her from continuing her relationship with Tan.

“Instead, this would make our relationship stronger,” said Lee, who planned to visit her boyfriend in Kuala Lumpur soon.

Bila baca kenyataan ini, sahlah bahawa dia ini adalah seorang yang kononnya berfikiran moden, terlalu ke hadapan dan menjalani kehidupan barat walaupun berdarah cina yang lahir di Tanah Melayu! Namun, sedarkah dia bahawa apa yang dilakukannya hari ini akan membawa kepada penyesalan yang lebih besar hari esok?
 

Pertama, sedarkah dia bahawa perbuatannya hari ini akan dapat disaksikan oleh anak cucu dan cicitnya pada masa hadapan selagi mana internet masih wujud? Tidakkah dia malu menayangkan alat sulitnya kepada anak cucunya? Atau masihkah dia berbangga dengan perbuatannya di hadapan mereka kelak?

Kedua, sedarkah dia bahawa hubungannya dengan lelaki itu baru mencecah usia 6 bulan sahaja dan banyak yang boleh berlaku dalam beberapa tahun akan datang? Adakah pada masa itu dia masih berbangga di hadapan boyfriend nya yang baru atau suaminya kelak, jika ditakdirkan tiada jodoh dengan lelaki ini?

Ketiga, sedarkah dia bahawa dia sendiri telah menconteng arang batu ke muka kedua ibubapanya sendiri? Seperti dia katakan di atas "please don't haunt them". Persoalannya, adakah dengan itu kedua ibubapanya juga bersetuju dan bersekongkol dengan perbuatannya ini? Kalau jawapannya ya sekalipun, aku tidak heran.

Keempat, adakah dia sedar bahawa perbuatan mereka, samada di Singapura atau Malaysia adalah menjadi satu kesalahan jenayah di bawah s. 292 Kanun Keseksaan? Jangan ingat perkara ini adalah salah dari segi moral dan budaya adat ketimuran saja tau. Ia adalah salah di sisi undang-undang, malah aku diberitahu sekiranya perbuatan ini berlaku di China sekalipun, hukumannya lagi berat dari negara kita! Entah-entah boleh kena penjara lebih lama, kalau tidak kena hukuman tembak saja.

Apa pula kata si lelaki ini? Jom kita baca laporan akhbar thestar online bertarikh hari ini juga... Wow, akhbar ini nampaknya jadi jagoan dalam membicarakan isu ini. Al-maklumlah, akhbar ini kan dari kalangan bangsa mereka juga!

‘Porn’ blogger says he wants to keep doing it

By TASHNY SUKUMARAN

PETALING JAYA: Erotic blogger Alvin Tan Jye Yee wants to continue having “a lot of sex” with partner Vivian Lee and he intends to keep recording the trysts.

He has absolutely no regrets about the furore the sex blog he shared with Lee has caused.
“We're going to stick together and have a lot of sex, and record it too,” he told The Star yesterday.

The Asean scholarship holder is currently under the spotlight for his raunchy images on the Internet, but neither he nor his girlfriend are frightened by the attention.

“My parents aren't really saying much about the morality of it they are more concerned I will be in trouble with the law or my university (National University of Singapore). They aren't saying, oh my gosh, this is so morally shameful,” said Tan.

The Malaysian couple also said they were keen to leverage off their fame and had set up a function on their now-blocked blog where fans can send them e-mail and be kept abreast of their lives.

“This is a critical period, and we intend to use this time to build a following. Perhaps we won't do videos and such anymore for public consumption, but we could be bloggers or endorsers. We want Alvin and Vivian to become a household name, a pair known for being a sexually open duo,” said Tan.

The couple revealed that they had received masses of fan mail, including propositions for sex from men and women.

Tan also brushed off the threat of legal action, saying he didn't believe they were “in much trouble legally”.

“People are advising us to lie low, to focus on getting lawyers or dealing with the National University of Singapore (NUS).

“But we are focusing on leveraging on this for more lasting fame,” said the NUS law student, adding that on Monday his blog had received over 100,000 visitors.

Tan, who is expected to face a disciplinary hearing by a National University of Singapore (NUS) board later in the month, said he was currently preparing for the encounter and would decide what to do afterwards.

“I'm surprised they gave me so much time to prepare. I'm just going to stand my ground. Everything I want to say, I've already said to the media.”

He admitted that although his life “did not depend” on staying at NUS, he would rather not face expulsion.

Tan said the couple intended to stay together for the foreseeable future, although they admitted they are not “your traditional monogamous, exclusive couple”.


Wow, terlalu hebat dan agungnya cinta mereka ini sehinggakan sanggup untuk menyimpannya demi tontonan dan arkib masa hadapan. Seolah-olah ini adalah sebuah karya seni agung yang patut dikhazanahkan sebagai artifak negara. Lihat saja kenyataan kedua-dua mereka ini.

Walau apapun yang mereka hendak lakukan, terpulanglah. Apa yang penting bagi kita dan rakyat Malaysia keseluruhannya, kita adalah bangsa timur dan masih memegang budaya ketimuran. Apatah lagi di Malaysia kita masih berpegang teguh kepada adat dan budaya. Perbuatan seks bukanlah taboo sebenarnya, tapi mempertontonkan perlakuan seks bebas ini adalah sangat taboo dan tidak patut dibiarkan subur di rantau ini dan khasnya di negara kita.

Kau nak buat seks sampai lunyai pun takkan ada orang kisah wahai manusia. Apa yang orang kisah, samada marahkan atau menyokong kalian, adalah perlakuan anda itu dipertontonkan dalam public domain. Anda mengatakan ia adalah kisah peribadi, namun adakah internet itu peribadi? Nak kata anda ini tiada otak, anda ada degree dari Universiti di Singapura. Nak kata bijak, perlakuan mengalahkan binatang.

Tahukah anda bahawa monyet sendiri pun tidak akan mempertontonkan perlakuan seksnya di hadapan ramai, apatah lagi di internet? Maka, perbuatan kalian ini adalah lebih teruk dan jijik daripada binatang sehinggakan binatang sendiri pun barangkali malu melihat perlakuan anda berdua.

Aku cuma mengharapkan agar tindakan sewajarnya dapat diambil ke atas mereka ini dengan segera sebelum perlakuan ini semakin merebak dalam masyarakat kita!

Fikirkanlah.
