Malaysian Woman Wants Public Caning

Kartika, a 32-year-old mother of two, was arrested in a raid for drinking beer at a hotel lounge last year. Kartikla will be the first Malaysian woman to be caned in a prison.

Officials confirmed that they do not intend to hurt her, but she will be struck on the backside using a small thin cane and only with moderate force. "Shari`ah whipping is more like caning naughty schoolboys," an unidentified "whipping officer" said.

"In Shari`ah the punishment is not in the force of the whipping but to bring shame. "The whipping implement is supposed to be soft and supple, so as to inflict the least pain."

She was sentenced to six lashes by a Shari`ah court in July in what was considered a warning to other Muslims to abide by religious laws. She also paid a 5,000 ringgit ($1,420) fine.

Regretful Kartika said she does not plan to appeal the court verdict. "Who am I to question the Islamic authorities' laws? That is beyond me," she said.

Muslim Malays form about 60 percent of the 26-million population of multiracial Malaysia. The multi-ethnic country applies Islamic Shari`ah law only to its Muslim population.
