Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno suddenly become a celebity in Malaysia now due to her willingness for accepting six strokes of the rotan. On last July 20, the Pahang Syariah High Court had fined Kartika RM5,000 and ordered her to be given six strokes of the rotan after she pleaded guilty to drinking beer at a hotel lounge in Cherating. What make her famous wasn't the crime she did, but the courage she has.
The way of how the media was frequently reporting on this news is not an appropriate act and wrongly focused. It's only could lead this case into a controversial issue. It also give the negative perception of shariah law among Malaysian particularly from non Muslim's view. What the media should focus and concern more is about the dirt of drinking alcohol, not the sentence of canning that already written in Pahang Syariah Enactment. While the verdict is lawful, are we now try to praise someone is guilty and pleaded guilty? Of course we sympathize of her, but the law is still the law, raising up this news everyday certainly can't warn/remind other Muslim not to conduct the crime of drinking alcohol.
