The title is straightforward ......... you will be jailed if you were proven that you were idling your time away. This is happening in Nigeria. According to its Sharia penal code, a person found idling around without any work or even school will be sentenced to jail time and be given strokes of cane.
Of course the court officials won't go out hunting for such people. A dad of the muslim community has reported his son to a Sharia court out of love for him. His son was mixing with bad hats and one way to save his son was to send him to jail and hoping that the jail term will wake his son up. Will his son wake up after getting six months jail and 30 strokes of cane? I will even before a single stroke of cane.
This strict penalty is being practised in Bauchi state that adopts the Islamic Sharia law. Is this law good and effective which can be considered in the land of milk and honey - Malaysia?

30 strokes of cane for being idle is too excessive. I don't think anyone should be punished for being idle.
Yea, he will definitely be cured!!!
It's one of the most ridiculous penalty i ever heard!!
Can't believe it..
haha..
I doubt so. As you know, many people in Malaysia likes to idle/lepak. I don't think I need to elaborate further. But I kinda like the extremist's idea of putting them in jail.
No difference, he will continue idling his time away in jail with worse men as company.
Hopefully, they don't do it in Malaysia. Well, for Mat Rempits maybe
foong - in fact, caning for being idle is a bit too high handed, ain't it? my opinion of course
