Booze mum to be first woman to be caned in Malaysia 20/08/2009
A muslim model will become the first woman to be caned in Malaysia after admitting drinking beer.
An Islamic court has ordered that Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, 32, be lashed six times. She was caught drinking alcohol in a raid on a hotel night club last year.
The married mum-of-one, who is being held in jail for a week, is not appealing against the sentence Prosecutor Saiful Idham Sahimi said: "This is the first case here. Under Islamic law a person who drinks commits a serious offence."
