| Malaysian PM steps in on flasher row |
| 2003-01-02 |
| Malaysian men flashing their genitals at women may get more exposure than they want if Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has his way. The Prime Minister has advised the public to seize the sarongs of flashers and leave them naked so that the wrap-around cloth can be used as evidence, local media has reported. Ow. I just squirted hot coffee out my nose... Dr Mahathir was commenting on the case of a member of Malaysia's Opposition Islamic Party who was accused of flashing his private parts at a female member of the ruling party by lifting his sarong during a tough by-election campaign. An Islamist muckety-muck flashed his gennies at a lady MP? Don't they take your turban away for that sort of thing? Razak Abas, 52, a former parliamentary candidate for the Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS), was acquitted in court last month, partly on the grounds that the prosecution had failed to produce the sarong he wore during the alleged incident. They let this Islamic perv off on a technicality, so now subsequent pervs of whatever pursuasion can make their way home not only displaying their dangling participles, but also being cheeky little fellows... |

| #6 Just read in the Daily Telegraph about a French womam in Dubai who was gang raped by 3 Muslim men. The police have arrested her and charged her with adultrey and let the perps for rape off scot-free. So, none of this surprises me in the least. Fred, you need to stop drinking coffee and go with something less scalding! |

| #5 Actually, they should bring, as evidence, said dangling participles, in which case they would be past participles... |

| #4 Maybe the grammar police would have better luck prosecuting them for dangling participles; those grammarians can be brutal, you know!! |
