It was worth it

People do a lot for their sporting heroes.

A 21-year-old Malaysian university student was yesterday fined RM1,200 for committing the Islamic religious crime of khalwat (close proximity) with one of the imported football stars of the Malaysian Premier League club, Kelantan. A pharmacy student at the International Islamic University, Ms Farrah Aina Safian Sauri, 21, pleaded guilty to committing the offence with Argentinian footballer Gustavo Alberto Romero at a flat in Kubang Kerian at 1.15am on 7 May.

The crime of "close proximity". I wonder if these lawmakers know how fascist they sound.

Girl has got her priorities all wrong. RM1200 can get you a whole room of pirated DVDs. I'd have made better use of that money.
