World Contraception Day

Sex back in those days are just pure sex, there is no such things as Safe sex, birth control pills, condoms and etc etc etc. Even in this new century many ppl are still oblivious about contraceptions. Well i call it ignorance :P. Many who's been in local secondary school will know that sex education hardly even exist. Sex is also a taboo topic in asian countries. Combine all this and *boom, we have ppl transmitting sexual diseases and many ignorant couples finding themselves in a compromising situation (e.g. Gals get pregnant lar and no money to bring up the child :P).

Fortunately many events has been held to educate and create awareness. One of the event will actually be held in Malaysia. Details are as below:
