Malaysia : No Kissing! Bad Kids!
Also from Little Green Footballs:
Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia’s highest court ruled on Tuesday that two young people accused of kissing and hugging in a public park can be charged with indecent behaviour.
The federal court in the mainly Muslim nation made the ruling in a hard-fought case involving Ooi Kean Thong, 24, and Siow Ai Wei, 22.
The couple were allegedly caught embracing and kissing by city hall officials in August 2003 in a park at the city’s iconic Twin Towers.
The students have said they received summonses for indecent behaviour when they refused to bribe two city hall officials, who have denied the claims.
Their lawyer S Selvam argued hugging and kissing were expressions of love that should be encouraged, and that city hall had no right under Malaysia’s constitution to charge the couple with indecency.
