It's a non-issue. If she has already pleaded guilty over the matter, so under the Malaysian Syariah Law, cane her.

Remember that caning and whipping is a different matter. Doing it in public? Does Syariah Law condone such punishment?

If people are not happy with this law, vote for your preferred representatives, ask them to debate the matter in the parliament.

If you can get a 2/3 vote-majority against it, then this sort of law can be abolished (the whole lot of Syariah Law for that matter).

Of coure, the Agong has to give the green light.

Why is it being made such a big deal? Even the people who don't know anything about Syariah law have freely made their comments on the internet and other media like Malaysiakini's Your Say.

'The whole world is watching'? Why do we have to care about what the world has to say? The world is not God. Let me remind the Muslims that what you should care is what Allah has to say.

As for the Non-Muslims, why do you care so much? This is Islam. We must learn how to respect other people's religions. And come on, it's just caning! I was caned for making noise in the primary school.

I was even humiliated in front of the whole KYSM for allegedly 'torturing' a boy. But both punishments made me a better student even though I felt victimised at first.

What if one day Muslims made a mockery of your religion? However, Muslims are not allowed to mock other religions. Prophet Muhammad PBUH never did that. So it's forbidden to make fun of other religions.

The caning has not affected the non-Muslims at all. Kartika pleaded guilty and wants the punishment to be carried out. That's what she wants. I don't know if she's being sincere or not because there was no video recording for me to judge.

According to her transcripts, she wants to be caned. So what is the real fuss here? Let her get what she wants.

There is a Hadith saying that one Muslim/Muslimah should be caned six times if found guilty of consuming alcholic drinks. So, Syariah law is in accordance with the Quran and Hadith.

If you don't like the law, then get your MPs to vote against it. So please stop all the drama. This is Malaysia, not America!
