Malaysia: No Passionate Kissing in Public

Such law applied in a democratic country with multiracial people are totaly not acceptable just because a muslim people not allow to do so. The law is absolutely critised the government’s fundamental in approving law jury diction, where people all over the world would laughing at Malaysian’s law as ‘no brain’. Why they want to do this such things by categorise a couple holding hand, kissing or showing any ways of passionate as ‘crime’? There are many other better things they can do such as ways to reduce the crime. As a conclusions, this law is not practicable in Malaysian society with multiracial. This ways of law approval seem, they have no foundation of laws in controlling the crime.

This is the kind of law that separates civilised countries from uncivilised countries. Once again I can say I am proud to be from a country where I am not forced to follow the backward thinking of some narrow minded government.

altough i appreciate the sentiments of outrage, i don’t appreciate the easy delineation between “civilised” and “uncivilised”. any issue is complicated, and there are local and global geopolitics at play. to revert to such simplistic metaphors only leaves a distasteful postcolonial arrogance flavour behind any thought.
(p/s: good on you for having no struggles or qualms about your nation’s government =|)

Agreed,this is being ignorant,the judge stated that “these behaviour can be accepted in england but can i be acceptable in asia?” well,what im trying to say is japan,philipine,and even indonesia or other asia countries do not have this kind of restriction and why must malaysia?and it is reported that the policemen that caught that couples was attempting to collect bribes from them and has been refused.and even until today,we still dont get the conclusion out of it? hold,or not to hold?

Well, thank you to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall. I mean that seriously. My wife wanted to stop in Kuala Lumpur for our honeymoon on our way to the Maldives, and now we know that we should never set foot in Malaysia. I don’t accept this kind of “fundamentalist” thinking in my own country (U.S.) from the religious right, so I’m certainly not going to deliberately go somewhere that’s headed in this direction.

Thanks again!
