In 2005, the Research Centre of Malaysia’s International Islamic University (IIUM) published a study entitled Sexual Identity: Effeminacy among University Students which features a shocking documentation of male Malay Muslim youths openly engaging in ‘cross-gender’ dressing and other ‘immoral’ acts with fellow (male) students on the campus of IIUM - Malaysia’s prime institution of Islamic higher education. The following addresses this serious issue which is also closely related to the topic of the present issue of this journal - the present-day ideals and realities of the family institution.
