A while back, the Malaysian government, for reasons best known to God alone, decided to whip 3 Muslim women for having extra-marital sex.
As that sort of matter is obviously a personal matter between the women and God (and perhaps their families), Sisters In Islam rightfully spoke up against this atrocious travesty.
Now there are police investigations on Sisters in Islam for releasing a press statement on why whipping the three women was unjust.
Not only that, a column ('Persuasion, Not Compulsion') by The Star's managing editor P. Gunasegaran on the whipping issue also raised protests by the narrow-minded and those with a vested interest.
Once upon a time, we may have had some freedom of speech. Today, we don’t.
So at least make your voice heard by signing this petition initiated by the Women’s Aid Organisation.
Please sign it and pass on to friends too.
