SHAH ALAM: The founder of a “sugar baby” dating site, which published a post boasting about sugar babies from 10 local universities, has been charged in court. The founder of the site Sugarbook is accused of allegedly using a website, http://technave.com, to publish a post entitled “Top 10 Sugar Baby Universities in Malaysia” with the intention to cause fear or unrest to the public at 10am on Feb 10. During the initial investigation, the suspect confessed to being the founder of Sugarbook. On Feb 15, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) blocked access to the Sugarbook website for allegedly breaching the law on the use of network facilities or services. Sugarbook matches “sugar daddies” to “sugar babies”, or older and generally more well-off men to young women in a largely financial arrangement.
