Body Odour, Humdrum Sex Cause, divorces in Terengganu

KUALA TERENGGANU: Smelly body odour, humdrum sex and boring pyjamas are behind the high divorce rate in the state and the government is scrambling to find ways to improve sexual relations, especially for newly wed couples.

Top on its list of proposals is to invite cosmetic firms to introduce exotic and sensuous fragrances which can arouse sexual ardour.

State Religious and Information committee deputy chairman Muhammad Ramli Nuh believes that this effort could slow the divorce rate among young couples.

He told The Star Sunday that at least three in every ten marriages registered in the state ended in divorce.

He added that separations were now common among couples aged between 25 and 30 years.

Muhammad Ramli said that couples who had been married for less than five years but already on the verge of separation told counsellors that routine sex and smelly body odour were the main reasons behind their break up.

He said he was bewildered that some couples even blamed their spouses for old-fashioned pyjamas - sarong and t-shirt - body odour during intimate moments made their sex life monotonous or turned them completely off.

“I know of one case where a separation was triggered because the spouse smelled of fish crackers,” he said.

Hence, Muhammad Ramli said the state government through state Family Development Board was welcoming cosmetic firms to introduce special perfumes to be used by such couples that could sustain relationships till death do them part.

He said the state government was also looking for beauty consultants to provide grooming and aesthetic workshops for couples in the state.

The workshop is not only intended for the wives but to provide tips to men on how to be attractive to their spouse, he said.

He said the state government had already engaged marriage consultants to arbitrate between feuding couples with a view to reconciling them.

“But then we have to look into the finer details on the actual cause that triggers divorce; if they are smells and dressing, we should find an appropriate solution to address this and save marriages in the state,” he said.

Muhammad Ramli said he had also suggested that couples to bathe together to make their relationship more exciting.

“I met this elderly couple in Kelantan. Both of them bathe together although they are grandparents and enjoy a blissful marriage.

“This is why I mooted the idea that this method be introduced as part of pre-marriage courses conducted in the state,” he added.

excuse the pyjamas and the body odour. oh they really are that concerned abt why ppl get divorced? pls lah.

read between the lines and u see the real motive - yet another way to channel the petroleum money into cronies' pockets. how? through government projects lah of course, no matter how absurd it sounds. monsoon cup lah.. masjid kristal lah.. free honeymoon trip lah.. now the latest, grooming workshops pulak.

1. monsoon cup. kononnya utk jadi tarikan pelancong. boleh blah. ppl have been flocking terengganu for its beaches and islands. not for spectating a couple of mat salehs sailing around in circles down the river?

2. the same goes for the masjid kristal and its collection of mini replica. a complete waste of fund. might as well go build a pyramid complex on top of mount kinabalu. untuk menggalakkan sektor pelancongan di sabah. God help me.

3. the free honeymoon trip was to be sponsored by the state government using the state fund. state fund tu duit sapa? the catch is, the destination for the honeymoon was only allowed to "government-appointed" resorts throughout terengganu. no need to guess who's the resorts' owners, or whether the honeymoon package would be comparable against the prevailing market rate.

4. now u think who will be lining up for the ever lucrative state government contract to offer cosmetics and grooming service? of course it's not me or u. kita mana ada cable.

sudah2 lah projek tipu orang. buat malu orang terengganu jer.
