The nation was recently gripped by various reports of promiscuous teens as well as issues of teen pregnancies. SundayStar looks at how serious the situation is.

SUE ANNE* lost her virginity at 13 when her then 18-year-old boyfriend sweet-talked her into having sex with him.

“It was quite a traumatic experience for me. It was painful and I felt ashamed after that. But then he comforted me and we did it again. This time he was gentler, and I enjoyed it,” says Sue Anne, now 22.

She confides that she became hooked on sex and would wait impatiently for school to end so that she could rush to her boyfriend’s place.

THE last-minute cancellation of the swearing-in ceremonies for the Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya councillors yesterday has sparked speculation that the list is not final and was still subject to changes. Councillors making their way to the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) and Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MBSJ) yesterday morning were informed that the ceremonies were postponed until further notice.

Both councils said the cancellation was made following a directive from the state government.

State local government, study and research committee chairman Ronnie Liu did not res­pond to queries from StarMetro on the reason why the swearing-in ceremony for both MBPJ and MPSJ were called off at the eleventh hour.

Meanwhile, there was frustration when the list of councillors for the 2010/11 term was revised and several names were changed after the list was released to the media by Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim on Tuesday night at a function at the Petaling Jaya Civic Centre.
