When federal laws unambiguously prohibit whipping or caning of women, religious laws must not be allowed to do the opposite.
ONE of the small things that I am grateful for is that I cannot be legally whipped or caned for any offence any more. Yes, there are criminal penalties which can specify whipping, but not for those over 50, I am told. Sometimes being old(er) is an advantage.
The other reason that I won’t be legally whipped is that I am not a Muslim and therefore my personal behaviour is not subject to syariah courts, which can hold me liable for offences such as drinking alcohol and have me caned.
For me and for millions of Malaysians of all races and religions, Feb 9, 2010, was a sad, black day in the history of our country. On that day, three women were caned legally for the first time ever in this country. They, all Muslims, were caned for engaging in illicit sex, an offence under syariah law, it was announced.
It is shocking that such sentences are being meted out for such offences. While religious laws may allow for such sentences, it is possible for judges to mete out lower sentences, especially when such “offences” are of a very personal nature and harm no one else.

Ulasan Saya : Kebiadapan segelintir penganut agama lain semakin menjadi jadi. Mereka tanpa rasa bersalah berani menghina islam. Dimanakah perginya pejuang pejuang islam? Dimanakah ahli politik yang heboh menegakkan islam?
Inilah masanya kita bangkit menegakkan islam ! Adakah kita mahukan Malaysia menjadi seperti Palestin, Afganistan atau Iraq barulah nak bertindak? KDN patut bertindak tegas. Jangan nak tidur saja.
