KOTA BARU: Kelantan wants to show the world the proper caning method, as the pu­­nishment meted out under Syariah laws is aimed at teaching and not an act of torture, said State Islamic Development Committee chairman Datuk Nassuruddin Daud.

He said imposing caning outside the prison was timely to show the world how it should be done under Syariah laws.
