Bolehland shenanigans: Making out in a car can be bad for your health


One of Unspun‘s contacts  sent me this Associated Press report which, one supposes, contains a caution against the health perils of making out in a car. Only in Bolehland can such things happen.

Amorous Muslim couple try
to flee law, cause five-car pile up

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct. 17 (AP) – A young Muslim couple tried to
speed off when Malaysian police caught them making out in their
car but got into an accident, causing a five-car pile up, a
report said Wednesday.

A police patrol car spotted the couple locked in an intimate
embrace late Monday in their car parked at a hypermarket in Muar
town in southern Johor state, The Star newspaper said.

As the patrol car neared them, the couple sped out of the car
park onto a main road and collided with a passing car, causing
three other vehicles to crash, the report said.

The unidentified couple, both in their 20s, have been detained
and the man has been booked for reckless driving, it said.

Muar traffic police officer Lim Aik Sin told the daily that the
couple have been referred to the district Islamic religious
department. The man is a factory worker in nearby Malacca state
while the woman, from Johor, studies in a college in Kuala
Lumpur, Lim was quoted as saying.

Lim couldn’t be reached for further details and other Muar
police officers declined to comment.

Unmarried Muslim couples found alone together in a private place
can be charged for “khalwat,” or “close proximity,” which is a
crime under Malaysia’s Islamic laws and carries a jail sentence
of up to two months.

Malay Muslims, who comprise about 60 percent of Malaysia’s 27
million people, are subject to Islamic morality laws. Chinese,
Indian and other minorities come under the country’s civil laws.

  3. now you guys see why our cops are overworked and stressed out? they have to look out for such amorous muslim couples, too. also, our cops must spend so much time trying to spot vehicles with expired road tax, drivers who are making a call on the handphone while driving, and those who drive without license or with expired licenses.

    no wonder the real criminals are having a good time.

  4. True, but the general public see this as an opprtunity for the police to “Cari Makan”. They are reported to make more money on Bribes than their salaries. If Islamic Law were to be fully implemented in Malaysia, All the police officers would have no arms; as quoted by Tun Haniff (former IGP)

    And that indeed would be a sight to see 🙂
