Tragedi hidup Sufiah

LONDON 30 Mac – Sufiah Yusof, seorang kanak-kanak pintar matematik yang pernah menggemparkan dunia apabila layak memasuki Universiti Oxford pada usia 13 tahun, tidak putus-putus ditimpa nasib malang.

Selepas bapanya, Yusof Farooq dipenjara atas kesalahan melakukan serangan seksual ke atas dua gadis berusia 15 tahun yang mengikuti tuisyen matematik di rumahnya, Sufiah pula kini dilaporkan menjadi pekerja seks.

Tragedi yang melanda kanak-kanak genius itu dibongkar oleh wartawan News of the World yang menyamar sebagai pelanggan, di flat murah yang didiaminya di belakang lorong di Salford, Manchester.

Sufiah dikatakan ter****t dalam kegiatan tidak bermoral itu, untuk menyara hidupnya sejak beberapa tahun lalu.

Entah di mana silapnya, gadis dengan senyuman menawan itu yang kehebatannya sepatutnya menjadikan dia wanita kaya, terpaksa memilih jalan itu untuk terus hidup.

Menurut akhbar itu, Sufiah dilaporkan mengiklankan ‘khidmatnya’ melalui Internet dengan tawaran 130 pound (RM830) untuk setiap sesi.

Dengan memakai nama samaran Shilpa Lee, dia antara lain menggambarkan dirinya sebagai ‘pelajar bijak dan seksi’ yang menyediakan perkhidmatan setiap hari dari pukul 11 pagi hingga 8 malam.

Dalam iklannya, menurut tabloid tersebut, Sufiah juga menyatakan dia lebih gemarkan ‘lelaki tua yang budiman’. Seorang bekas rakannya menyifatkan tindak-tanduk gadis itu sebagai: ‘‘Sesuatu yang sungguh menyedihkan.’’

“Dengan otak luar biasa yang dimilikinya, dia tidak mempunyai masalah untuk mendapat wang, sebaliknya hidup dia musnah dan menjadi tidak terkawal,” kata bekas rakannya lagi.

Selepas tiga tahun belajar di Universiti Oxford, pada usia semuda 15 tahun, Sufiah mencetuskan kegemparan apabila menghilangkan diri.

Dalam e-mel kepada keluarganya, dia menyifatkan hidup dengan bapanya ‘umpama dalam neraka’.

Ibu Sufiah, Halimahton berasal dari Muar, Johor manakala bapanya, Yusof berasal dari Pakistan.

Sufiah hanya ditemui dua minggu kemudian di sebuah kafe Internet di Bournemouth dan bekerja sebagai pelayan hotel.

Dia enggan kembali ke pangkuan keluarga dan diletakkan di bawah jagaan sebuah badan so**** sebelum kembali ke Oxford untuk menyelesaikan pengajian matematik peringkat sarjana.

Dia berkahwin pada 2004 ketika berusia 19 tahun dengan peguam pelatih, Jonathan Marshall, 24, tetapi rumah tangganya hanya mampu bertahan selama setahun.

Aku dah wat ulasan kat blog aku. So, apa pendapat korang tentang kes Sufiah nih? Dalam 1-2 hari ni je, dunia dan dunia internet panas cite benda ni. Semua blog aku tengok dah dok cite benda nih. Apa kata korang plak?

Amat menyedihkan.. adakah Sufiah ditekan tanpa pertolongan sehingga sanggup menggadai maruah dengan menjual tubuh untuk menyara hidup? Satu kejayaan di dalam propaganda Barat merosakkan imej Islam.

Adi Putra sekarang yang terus menjadi tanda tanya... jika saya menjadi ibubapa Adi Putra saya akan menyuruh adiputra menghafaz Al-Quran 30 juzuk kerana itu akan memantapkan lagi fikiran anaknya disamping berjaya dunia akhirat.

p/s: Bijak dalam akedemik tidak menjamin kejayaan... tetapi fahami dan dalami ilmu Agama akan menjamin kejayaan dunia dan akhirat

Jangan lupa "amalkan ilmu" yang dipelajari <<< point paling penting .

Sepatutnya selepas daripada lari daripada rumah, Sufiah diambil oleh badan kebajikan masyarakat Islam UK.. bukan badan kebajikan pemerintahan kristian. Jika tidak, nasibnya lebih terbela. Orang bukan Islam nescaya akan gembira dengan berita seperti ini. Satu lagi berita tragis untuk orang Islam yang berbangsa Melayu.

Child genius ran away to be rebel in a scarf

Sufiah Yusof's father insists she was brainwashed


Martin Bright
Observer

Sunday July 9, 2000

It was in March that Sufiah Yusof's parents noticed a dramatic change in her. It began with her decision to start wearing Islamic dress, including the hijab - the traditional headscarf worn as a mark of an Islamic woman's modesty. Looking back, Farooq and Halimahton Yusof now realise this was the first sign of a new life she was planning for herself - away from her family and the intense pressure of being Britain's best-known child prodigy.

When she disappeared from St Hilda's College Oxford after her third year exams on 22 June, everyone feared the worst, including her father. Now that she has reappeared, to be taken into care by Bournemouth social services, what has emerged is a picture of a politically committed student struggling to be taken seriously as a young woman, rather than the clever little girl who had previously sprung to the media's attentions.

A family photograph taken just weeks before her disappearance shows Sufiah confident with her new look - scarf, long-sleeved blouse and shawl, in contrast to the sportswear she wore until then.

'It was part of a new identity,' her father told The Observer, in the first full interview given by the family since Sufiah's disappearance. 'She began taking an active interest in politics and the Muslim world: good causes that we would probably have encouraged her to support. Unfortunately, whoever was acting as her mentor could not have known that.'

Yusof has led a chequered career. In 1992 he was jailed for three years for a £1.5 million mortgage fraud, for which his wife Halimahton received a suspended sentence. Since then he has devoted his life to developing a top-secret programme of 'accelerated learning', believing that bright children are let down by conventional education.

He has now set up his own firm to market his educational products, but everything is on hold until his best advertisement returns home.

So far, his methods have seen three of his children winning places at university to read maths at an age when most of their peers are adding the values of Pokémon cards. But clearly, his plan made no allowance for his student's growing political awareness. The discovery of her Muslim roots was part of a political awakening that saw her embrace green issues, the anti-capitalist movement, the campaign against the detention of asylum seekers and international Muslim solidarity.

During her end-of-year exams last month, her parents took it in turns to spend time with her in Oxford and cook her meals. 'She had become very particular about what she ate,' said Halimahton Yusof. 'Everything had to be organic and GM-free. Always wholemeal bread and freshly-squeezed oranges. She refused to eat McDonald's and Nestlé products.'

'I would describe her attitude as anti-corporate,' said Sufiah's father.

She had started to subscribe to the weekly paper of the Socialist Worker's Party and during the holidays had it delivered to the family's previous address in Coventry so that she could collect it without her parents finding out.

Her parents are convinced that Sufiah was abducted and that her emails, sent from an internet cafe in the seaside town, were sent under duress.

In the front room of their Coventry home, the mantlepiece is crammed with two dozen trophies won for tennis, another area in which the children were expected to excel. As the Yusofs shuffle through snaps of the family together during happier times - in Sufiah's Oxford flat or walking in the University parks - talk turns to mysterious 'third parties'. Alternatively, these are commercial rivals attempting to debrief Sufiah about his teaching methods, or socialist extremists who brainwashed her with revolutionary politics.

'Our children's lives have been very well balanced,' insisted Yusof. 'We have no problem with Sufiah exercising her independence. But I am convinced there are sinister elements behind this and I know I will be proved right.'

According to the Yusofs, police interception of calls made by their daughter prior to her disappearance show that she was arranging secret meetings with someone calling from a phone box outside St Hilda's. 'She would return from the meetings very moody and would go straight to her room,' said her father. Police subsequently discovered she attended a meeting of the Socialist Workers' Party during her exams. 'I find it difficult to believe she would have done this without someone else's influence,' Yusof told The Observer.

Thames Valley Police have refused to confirm whether anyone is under suspicion of abducting Sufiah Yusof or whether they are looking into claims contained in an email, apparently from Sufiah, that she suffered physical abuse at home.

So far, Farooq Yusof's attempts to identify the 'third parties' who turned his daughter's head have failed. The police have checked her email logs and found she was in regular contact with Alice Wright, a prominent member of Oxford University's Amnesty International group, elected president of St Hilda's Junior Common Room for next year. Since Sufiah disappeared, Wright has manned phones at the college and is highly regarded by lecturers and students.

Anna Chen, spokeswoman for the Socialist Worker's Party, who herself ran away from home at 15, has talked to Farooq Yusof about the case. She has also made inquiries about the involvement of members of her organisation and discovered none. 'I identify with her very much. I think she sounds wonderful. I'd like to recruit her to the party myself, but we are not a cult, which brainwashes people. It sounds to me like a classic case of someone getting politicised at university.'

The case has also raised serious doubts about the wisdom of hot-housing young talent. The Government is already planning a series of Advanced Maths Centres across the country to cater for primary pupils to take their GCSEs at age 11 instead of 16. Many experts believe that even this is too much too soon. Valsa Koshy, Director of Brunel University's Able Children Centre, said there was no research to back up the Government's plans and that Australia and the United States were abandoning similar schemes because they led to the isolation of children from their peers.

Mengikut teori aku bapak Sufiah ni mungkin pernah buat "sesuatu" kat Sufiah ni...

Dia pernah cakap, tinggal bersama bapanya umpama sebuah neraka!
