TEENAGE students in uniform are allegedly selling sexy photos of themselves for as low as RM4.90 on TikTok.

Kosmo! Ahad has reportedly discovered an account on the social media platform that promotes videos and pictures of underage girls.

The account had 276 photos and videos which had been uploaded within a five-month period, with some of the content even garnering 2.7 million views.

The account had also allegedly sold the photos and videos in series with prices as low as RM4.90 per piece.

One creator known as “Ain”, 16, confessed to the paper when they contacted her via direct message.

She claimed to have sold about 15 of her photos. “I only showed some parts of my body such as my cheeks, hips and chest while wearing tight clothing,” she said.

> A single mother has been forced to feed her children plain tea and water because she could not afford milk after her daily income dropped to RM10 per day.

Metro Ahad reported that Siti Nurfarahim Abdullah, 29, said her three children, aged three to five, were forced to forgo milk after she lost her job as a cook.

The 29-year-old had been making between RM40 and RM50 a day cooking for her cousin’s breakfast stall until her relative ended the business.

She then found another part-time job folding curry puff pastries for RM10 a day.

“I had to persuade my children to drink plain tea and water after I could not afford to buy any more milk,” she said from her flat in Taman Pulai, Skudai.

She moved to the flat after her divorce in June and is unable to leave the house to work as there is no one to care for her children.

She wants to sell frozen curry puffs from her home but is unable to do so as she cannot afford a freezer, she said during a visit by the Johor Islamic Affairs Council (MAIJ) and the Econsave Cash and Carry supermarket.
