A PAS Youth leader defended the proposed public caning in Terengganu for a man convicted of repeated khalwat (close proximity) offenses, arguing that it is an educational measure and a reflection of Islamic justice. He emphasized that Shariah law aims to maintain social harmony and deter others from committing similar acts. This comes amid criticism from groups like G25 and Suhakam, who oppose public caning as a violation of human rights and legality.
