Is whipping the answer?

By SHAHANAAZ HABIB

Malaysians were shocked when a woman was sentenced by the Pahang Syariah Court to six lashes of the rotan for drinking alcohol. They were again shocked when she decided not to appeal.

THERE is still time for Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno to reconsider and appeal, said her lawyer Mohd Zuki Che Muhamad Ghani.

“I told her to go and discuss it with her family,” he said, commenting on his client’s shocking decision not to appeal against her sentence.

He said Kartika, 32, had 14 days to appeal (from July 20, the date of the sentencing) and so he did not want to record her refusal to appeal as yet because she might change her mind by Aug 3.

Zuki explained that Kartika had not wanted to appeal because the process would take a year or two to be heard. She felt it was too long and as she had already pleaded guilty she was afraid she would be sent to jail instead.

“The offenders plead guilty first and it is only just before the sentencing that they look for a lawyer,” he said, which was the case with Kartika.

Last week, Kartika who has two children was sentenced to RM5,000 and six strokes of the rotan for drinking beer at the Legend Hotel lounge in Cherating.
