MacQuarie National News - A religious court in Malaysia has sentenced a tearful Singaporean Muslim model to six strokes of the cane after she drank beer in a nightclub, reports said on Tuesday.
Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, 32, pleaded guilty to consuming alcohol at a hotel nightclub in the eastern state of Pahang last year, the New Straits Times newspaper reported.
"We feel the sentence is fair after going through the prosecution's argument and since the rotan (cane) is provided for in the law," Pahang Sharia High Court judge Abdul Rahman Yunus said, according to the paper.
Look, I think Jamie Foxx said it best, even though it has 50 remixes. I mean, he said it perfectly. "Fill another cup up. Feelin' on your butt, what." Shukarno should have considered the laws of her own country before following Foxx into battle. What flies in America doesn't fly in Malaysia. You don't see Farva getting caned for ordering six Schlitzes. Besides, six strokes is a pittance compared to what she'd get in Iran.
