The way I understand it, Gary, there are two sets of laws in Malaysia; civil laws which apply to everyone and Syariah laws which only apply to Muslims. She is a Muslim and therefore is subject to the Syariah laws which forbids drinking alcohol. The club where she was caught was not required to determined if patrons were Muslim or not before serving them, and therefore no charges were filed against the proprietors. But there was another woman, a 22 year old, who was also arrested in the same raid and received the same sentence. But she has appealed her sentence and so it will be a while if and when she is also caned.

I guess it sucks to be a Muslim in Malaysia if you like to throw back a brewski or two. That is unless you also like to be caned, which may also apply. My only question is, I wonder if she was drinking Red Stripe Beer?
