Couple holding hands arrested in Malaysia

Yes, they gov't thugs in Kuala Lumpur actually arrested a man and
woman for holding hands and charged them with indecency.

Please boycott the evil country of Malaysia. Yes, some Malaysians may
seem nice, but they allow their gov't to do such evil. Malaysia is a
joke.

I think they only arrest locals. Foreigners are allowed to do as they
please, including riding a bicycle downtown Penang shirtless. I saw this
white guy, just a few days ago, riding carefully, but shirtless, along
Campbell Street.

Not a crime, but certainly bad taste in a SE Asian country. You have to
respect local sensibilities.

My cousin who is a part time fisherman is shirtless and wear short pants when
travelling around his village and when going fishing.
Of course it is not appropriate to do this in the cities.

You must a jolly joker...

I am a muslim and I always hold my wife hands while doing our weekly
shopping and nothing happen to me.

If you really want to bad mouth Malaysia that bad (and I did notice
this trend based from your previous posting), at least try harder.

Well in Malaysia unlike Australia, we don't oppress the natural
inhabitants of the land. We don't have racist police beating up
teenage boys just because they're the wrong colored skin. We don't
have a pro-war gung-ho Prime Minister who basically is butler (oops i
mean sherrif) to good ol George W. , and we certainly don't send our
troops into other people lands to conquer them under a false pretence
of liberation. We don't openly deny asylum seekers nor keep them lock
up for decades only to arrest the truly caring Australians who fight
for their freedom. All of this and you call us evil???

Facts:
1) The guy who was arrested claims that he was merely holding hands
with his girlfriend. He claims he was fined just because he didn't pay
a bribe to the officers.

2) The officers claim that he and his girlfriend were doing more thna
holding hands, acts that were considered inappropriate. UNlike western
countries, we have a sense of what ia acceptable in a public place.

3) The officers claim trial and pleaded NOT guilty to corruption and
their trial is preceeding.

4) The LAW must be held, if a accused was not acquited or his charges
dropped, he must either pay the fine or have his day in court. Where
if he is innoncent he will be acquited. The Malaysian Government has
done the right thing.
