Siti Kasim, who has been accused of being anti-Islam, reiterated that she had never spoken against the religion, but only to those who use it in politics.
“I have never said Islam is bad. Islam is my religion, I love my religion. I only speak up because I do not agree with what is happening in this country.
“If you agree to be jailed for 30 years, being fined RM100,000, receiving 100 strokes of the rotan just because you do not fast, not dressing up according to syariah law, not praying or committing other (wrongdoings) that do not result in victimising people, that is up to you.
“But I do not agree, because (syariah) law covers me as well, it is forced upon me. I do not agree with these politicians who make decisions about my religion. That is what I have been saying,” she said.

really? is there a state that can punish you for not tutup aurat? or even punish you for not praying? so difficult to enforce unless you deploy moral police like Iran, or do attendance at mosques.
tangkap basah etc i’ve heard but these ones i really haven’t tho.

There are states like that, namely Kelantan and Terengganu that are governed by PAS. Even in KL, Malay people are cautious about eating during Ramadan, as enforcers usually act on tip offs. My colleague who has a serious gastric issue usually will ask me or out security to help tapau and he has to hide to eat :/
