Muslim Woman In Malaysia Sentenced Six Strokes From A Cane in Corruption Pledged Malaysia

So, I was watching CNN and notice they are fully covering the story of the Muslim woman sentenced to be caned for drinking beer in Malaysia. And because of the international coverage she has won a delayed from her punishment until after the fasting month of Ramadan. Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno was sentenced by a Islamic religious court last month to six strokes for doing the the same thing as a minister's son. She was taken into custody in northern Perak state by religious officials who were to transport her to a jail outside Kuala Lumpur where the caning was to be carried out. But after travelling a short distance, the vehicle returned and she was abruptly freed.






"I am speechless," Kartika told reporters, adding that the Islamic officials had not told her whether she would be caned later. "I want to know what my status is. I want a black and white statement from them." "I do not know in what situation I’m in. I'm clueless. I do not know if I am freed, I am in limbo," she said about her current situation. So at the moment with the world watching she could be picked up basically anytime and carried away by officials in Malaysia and caned unconscious.
While the lawless son of Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri bin Tan Sri Abdul Aziz was photographed enjoying a Heineken and wine with a few friends and relatives. He received no punishment for the same crime under Islamic law. Despite being a Muslim he was not punish for doing the same as the poor mother of two because he belong to a prominent yet phony Muslim family with years of hypocrisy. No offense to the faithful Muslims who don't try to force Islamic laws on others that they don't abide by themselves. This is for the fake Muslims like Minister Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz and his lawless son of Nazri with their double standards who want to cane a poor woman. Damn barbarians! The Wall Street Journal report:


Malaysian authorities postponed caning a Muslim woman for drinking beer in a hotel bar, in a case has drawn international attention to the spreading use of Islamic law in this traditionally moderate, predominantly Muslim country.
Islamic authorities granted Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno a one-month reprieve to mark the holy fasting month of Ramadan, which began on Saturday in Malaysia. State-run media quoted Mohamad Sahfri Abdul Aziz, a state legislator in charge of religious affairs, as saying the attorney general's office advised that the caning should be delayed until after Ramadan, but that the sentence will still be carried out.
People knowledgeable about the situation say local Islamic judges are discussing whether to maintain the caning sentence handed down to Ms. Kartika.
Until the announcement of the delay, authorities appeared stymied by exactly how to carry out Ms. Kartika's detention and punishment. Early Monday, Ms. Kartika left her home in Perak state and headed to a prison near Kuala Lumpur, where the caning was to be carried out. She was then suddenly released and returned home by Islamic officials.
It initially appeared that Malaysia's religious authorities had decided they couldn't legally detain Ms. Kartika in a secular prison while her punishment was carried out. Later, officials said the punishment would be delayed until after Ramadan.
The ordeal is complicated by the fact that a number of special local elections are coming up, with one Tuesday. Politicians mostly are trying to steer clear of the controversy, apparently fearing they might be portrayed as not sufficiently Islamic if they criticize the caning of Ms. Kartika.
Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, though, wrote in his blog that Malaysia's Muslims have nothing to explain to the rest of the world. "As Muslims, we do not have to care too much about the view of others toward Islam when doing what the religion calls for," he said.
Still, the severity of the sentence meted out to Ms. Kartika -- who would be the first Malaysian woman caned -- caught many by surprise. The 32-year-old mother of two was sentenced to six lashes with a rattan cane after being caught drinking beer at a hotel in Pahang state in 2007.
Drinking alcohol is illegal for Malaysia's Muslims, who make up about 60% of the nation's 27 million people and are subject to Islamic Shariah law in addition to civil law. Those caught drinking usually are subject to a fine or a brief prison sentence, while Malaysia's non-Muslims, including its large ethnic-Chinese and -Indian minorities, are free to drink alcohol because they aren't subject to Shariah law.
The sentence has triggered a debate about whether caning is too harsh a punishment for the multiracial country.
Analysts, meanwhile, said the sentence points to the growing role of Islam in political battles as the ruling National Front and an Islamist opposition party compete to present themselves as protectors of the faith.
Ms. Kartika last week urged authorities to cane her in public in order to deter other Muslims from drinking alcohol, and refused to appeal her sentence. She couldn't be reached to comment Monday, but the Associated Press quoted her sister Ratna as saying Ms. Kartika was "stressed" by the decision to delay her punishment.


Anyone in Malaysia calling for Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno caning sentence to be carried out but was silent when photos of Nazri and his son violating Islamic laws is a damn coward. A filthy coward of a dirty pig that should spend the rest of their days on Earth living in shame. If they were really "protectors of the faith" they would demand equal justice for all Muslims no matter social class. Instead of pictures of the woman facing caning under Islamic law in Malaysia playing with her kids, here are a few pictures of the son of a prominent Muslims minister by the name of Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz enjoying some wine and a cold beer in public no less.

I am happy because Malaysia is exposed as a being ruled by a bunch of fascist assholes. Yahoo News report:

Beer-drinking Muslim model wins caning reprieve

A Muslim model sentenced to be caned for drinking beer won a surprise reprieve Monday when religious officials delayed her punishment until after the fasting month of Ramadan.
Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, 32, was sentenced by a religious court last month to six strokes, making her the first woman to face caning under Islamic law in Malaysia, a moderate Muslim-majority country.
She was taken into custody Monday from her family home in northern Perak state by religious officials who were to transport her to a jail outside Kuala Lumpur where the sentence was to be carried out.
But after travelling a short distance, the vehicle returned and she was abruptly freed.
"I am speechless," Kartika told reporters, adding that the Islamic officials had not told her whether she would be caned later. "I want to know what my status is. I want a black and white statement from them."
The mother-of-two has stared down religious authorities by saying she is ready to be caned, refusing to appeal against her sentence, and challenging them to cane her in public.
"I do not know in what situation I'm in. I'm clueless. I do not know if I am freed, I am in limbo," said the part-time model, who was dressed in a purple Muslim headscarf and a flowing traditional "baju kurung" outfit.
Sahfri Abdul Aziz, a legislator from Pahang in charge of religious affairs, said the punishment had been suspended on the order of the Attorney-General until after the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which began last week.
"However, the sentence will remain the same," he said according to state media.
But a senior government official who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity suggested the reprieve could be a step towards burying the whole affair.
"Leave it to the sharia court, they know how to decide. The court has the power to revise the sentence and there are also laws that allow the sultan to pardon her," the top official said.
Human rights group Amnesty International has urged Malaysia to abolish the "cruel and degrading punishment" and critics have said the case threatens to damage Malaysia's international standing.
Kartika's father Shukarno Mutalib, 60, reacted angrily to the about-face and the confusion over whether the caning would go ahead, and said it would reflect badly on Islam, which forbids drinking alcohol.
"My daughter wants the sentence to be done. I'm afraid that people will mock the religion," he said. "Don't make my daughter a toy to play with," he said.
Kartika, who has lived in neighbouring Singapore for many years, had pleaded guilty to drinking alcohol at a hotel nightclub.
Her case has caused a national sensation, and at her family's village more than 50 supporters turned out and chanted "God is Great" and "There is no God except Allah."
"I have known Kartika since she was a small girl," said one 64-year-old villager, Wan Alawiah.
"She is a good girl and I'm sad she will be caned but I ask myself why Kartika is being caned when a lot of other Muslims drink. I feel she has been victimised," she said.
Alcohol is widely available in Malaysia but is forbidden for Muslim Malays, who make up 60 percent of the population. They can be fined, caned, or jailed for up to three years but prosecutions are extremely rare.
Malaysia, a multicultural country with large Chinese and Indian communities, has a dual-track legal system and sharia courts can try Muslims for religious and moral offences.
Islamic scholars have mostly backed the sentence, and said it would be carried out when Kartika was fully clothed and with a cane that is smaller and lighter than the heavy length of rattan used in criminal cases.

Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri bin Tan Sri Abdu Aziz is a Malaysian politician from the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), and is as of 2008^[update] a Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of parliamentary affairs. In June 2005 Nazri caused controversy when he shouted the phrase "bloody racist" (or variants of it) 28 times in Parliament. A request by opposition Democratic Action Party (DAP) lawmaker Fong Po Kuan for Nazri to take back his comments went unheeded. The incident occurred during a debate on the Malaysian Medical Council's derecognition of Crimea State Medical University (CSMU) medical degrees; most Malaysian students sent to study there were of Indian extraction.
Nazri was originally also the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of legal affairs and judicial reform. After the 2008 general election, which saw the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition's majority in Parliament significantly reduced, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi reshuffled his Cabinet and gave Nazri's legal affairs portfolio to Zaid Ibrahim.
He has also recently (2006) been called the hatchetman of Abdullah, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, by Former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, for defending Abdullah in Mahathir's ongoing criticisms against the government.
