The Associated Press
It is rare for a woman in Malaysia to be sentenced to caning — a punishment usually reserved for men in various crimes ranging from rape to bribery. Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno was sentenced Monday to six lashes and a fine of 5000 ringgit ($1400) for consuming alcohol said a Shariah High Court official who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to make public statements. Shukarno a 32-year-old model pleaded guilty in the court in eastern Pahang state to a charge of drinking beer when Islamic authorities raided a hotel nightclub in August 2008. Consuming alcohol is a religious offense in Malaysia only for Muslims who make up nearly two-thirds of the population.
