She asked to be caned in public, knowing fully well the embarrassment it would bring to the Malaysian govt and the crooked hypocritical mullahs and imams who were behind this religious mockery.

Malaysian religious authorities have stopped the sentence of caning, which was to have been carried out on a Muslim woman who was caught drinking beer.
Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno was sentenced by a religious court last month to six strokes of the cane.
While Islamic officials detained her on Monday in order to transport her to a jail for the sentence to be carried out, government authorities stepped in to cancel the caning and insisted she return to her home.
Kartika was to be the first woman to be caned under Islamic law in Malaysia, which had been regarded as a moderate Muslim-majority country.
The 32-year-old woman has now insisted she needs a document explaining her status, not knowing whether the sentence has been overturned or postponed.
Earlier, Kartika had asked to be punished in public as a warning to fellow Malaysian Muslims.
