Malaysian Double Standard?

Days ago, I read a news report regarding a Malaysian model named Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno will receive 6 lashes using a rattan stick because she was caught drinking beer at a hotel in December 2007. As part of the holy month of Ramadan, Malaysian officials have  postponed the punishment until Ramadan is over. 

For those living under a rock their entire lives, alcohol is prohibited under Islamic Shariah law. Malaysian law prohibits all Muslims from consuming any type of alcohol although non-Muslims can freely drink it in Malaysia.

No matter how silly you think that law may be, we all have to respect it since it is the law. However, does the law apply to everybody or can the rich still take a dump on it? Here are photos of the son of Malaysian Minister Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz enjoying the devil juice (hooray for Heineken). Reports say that they are Muslims and should be subject to Shariah law. Since they are a prominent family, most of these things are swept under the rug. Let there be justice for all.
