Former Oxford University math whiz Sufiah Yusof turned from prostitution to social work.
LONDON: Maths genius Sufiah Yusof is no longer a prostitute and has found a new interest - voluntary social work, the Harian Metro tabloid reported.
The newspaper spoke to an Islamic non-governmental organisation, which supports Muslim professionals, which reported that 23-year-old Sufiah regretted her previous activities.
The group's director of planning and strategy Hanafi Abdul Malek said the former Oxford University student wrote in an e-mail a week after Hari Raya Aidilfitri that she was no longer in the 'flesh trade' and her agent confirmed this.
'Sufiah informed us that she was not ready to meet her family again, especially her mother, Halimahton Yusof,' he said, adding that they plan to meet her next month.
No further details were given.
Ms Sufiah, whose mother is a Malaysian and father Farooq, a Pakistani, made headlines when she admitted recently to being a prostitute, charging customers around £130 (S$290) for a session.
