The khalwat caning of the carpenter Affendi was carried out in Terengganu, Malaysia yesterday. In this case the public setting was confined to a mosque, where entry was restricted to seventy selected individuals (government officers, media & NGOs). Video & audio recording was forbidden.
A crowd of onlookers had managed to by-passed the first police barrier near the mosque, but were prevented at the second.
For this punishment carpenter Affendi was not stripped of his clothing and didn't cry out during it, an official reported.
The officer administering the strokes did not raise the cane above his head and only used moderate force, according to the official. (In Singapore, at least in the past—present case was unknown—the disciplinarian danced toward the bound victim and used all his strength. This was recoded in the code and witnesses have testified. In the old days, not so long ago and again according to living witnesses, where a dozen, or even two dozen strokes were administered at one time, the rotan returned to the same tear that had been previously opened on the buttocks.)
This was the third occasion this particular chap, Affandi the carpenter, had been caught in a private place in close proximity to a female, one who was neither his wife, nor family member. (It was not reported whether the same woman had been involved on the earlier occasions.)
Previously the man had been fined and received four strokes, in private in those instances, in 2023 & earlier this year.
At least the woman here for some reason was saved the indignity.
A pair of females found a few years back in a car in some kind of compromising situation in the same Malaysian State ruled by the PAS Islamists were also publicly caned. Photos are readily available online.
