KUALA LUMPUR: The practice of public whipping will tarnish Malaysia’s image as a progressive and moderate Muslim-majority nation, says civil society group G25.
It contradicts modern justice principles that uphold dignity and respect for all, even convicted criminals, the group said in reference to reports that a 42-year-old man will be publicly caned on Dec 27 in Terengganu for repeated khalwat (close proximity) offences.
