A group of women NGOs led by beautician and Malaysian Beauty Therapy Association president Datin Clara Chee was outraged over the rising number of massage parlours in Selangor because these places, they said, had become vice dens and had caused much heartbreak to many innocent lives when husbands, fathers and sons frequent the places. As the president put it: Family values are affected and this is bad for the moral fibre of society. Women probably expect a lot from men and in Buddhist teaching, husbands indeed have to be tender, loyal, courteous, fair, honest and provide security, good companionship and moral support to the wife. In return, the wife have to love, be attentive, faithful, thrifty, care for the children, provide the meals and calm the man down when he is upset and be obligated to the family and be sweet in everything. Modern women probably are sweet in something.
