Malaysian newspaper gets slapped for sex story

Malaysian government leaders have rebuked a local newspaper for publishing a frank expose of sexual attitudes among the country's youth.

The Weekend Mail gave detailed descriptions of favorite sex positions from its survey -- including "spooning, galloping and tea bag positions" -- in three pages of stories that delivered on its front-page promise: "You'll be shocked."

"I received endless calls and SMS over the articles," Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak told a ruling-party meeting Sunday.

"The media going overboard in exploiting sex will only worsen our social problems," he was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times, a pro-government daily in the same stable as the Mail.
