KARTIKA SARI DEWI SHUKARNO

• 32 year old model
• Mother of 2 children
• Arrested in a hotel for Drinking Beer in December of 2007
• Against Law in Malaysia to drink alcohol

DAMN

• 6 Lashes of the CANE
• 1st woman to be CANED
• Paid a fine worth $700-800 USD
• 7 Days in Prison

My DAMN opinion:

I feel it’s not right for her to be punished for drinking a beer, but of course I feel that way because I live in the United States of America.  The problem I have is that there are numerous people in Malaysia that drink(according to people interviewed by a CNN reporter), but apparently there is a religious movement to make an example of people who go against the law.  It’s interesting to see what consequences people receive for BREAKING THE LAW in other CULTURES.  DAMN

IS THIS FAIR?  SHOULD IT BOTHER ME AND OTHERS THAT SHE IS BEING PUNISHED FOR DRINKING BEER?
