Safer Apps & Tools for Community
RELEVANCE OF SEKSYEN 372B
seksyen 372B Penal Code (Malaysia) makes it an offence to solicit or offer sexual services for hire
it applies even if the solicitation happens online (Tinder, Whatsapp, Telegram) or through indirect comms
Once there is agreement or payment, the law considers it an offence — even if the “client” is an undercover policeman.
In our scenario, the sex worker’s communication and agreement with the officer is enough to trigger liability under 372B

they don’t protect against entrapment
