Mohd Affendi, charged under the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment (Takzir) (Terengganu) Amendment 2022, will be publicly caned six times in Terengganu after Friday prayers on 27 December 2024 for a khalwat offence.
After Friday prayers on 27 December 2024, history will be made in Terengganu when an offender in a khalwat case undergoes six strokes of the cane. Senior Syariah Court Judge Kamalruazmi Ismail has scheduled the punishment at Masjid Al-Muktafi Billah Shah, Kuala Terengganu . On 20 November, Mohd Affendi was charged under Section 31 (a) of the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment (Takzir) ( Terengganu ) Amendment 2022.
Despite a prior offence on 11 July 2023, the Kemaman District Syariah Lower Court fined him RM2,700 or three months in prison. Syarie caning is rare, and many may not know its differences from civil caning. There are key differences between syariah and civil caning, which include: - Punishment is carried out privately in prisons. - Sufficiently painful to injure the offender. Civil - Caning is applied to those found guilty of corruption, breach of trust, white-collar crimes, rape, and other sexual offences. - Offenders are fully clothed, including covering the face to protect dignity (according to state law). - Moderate cane size; length not exceeding 1.22 metres and thickness not more than 1.25 centimetres. - Thin cane for corruption, breach of trust and white-collar crimes, while a thick cane is used for rape and sexual harassment cases. - Executioner swings the cane with moderate force without raising the hand above the head to avoid skin injury. - The executioner begins punishment by holding the cane horizontally above the head and swinging it to the offender's buttocks with full force. - After one stroke, the cane must be lifted, not dragged, and subsequent strokes should be on different parts, avoiding the face, head, stomach, chest, or private parts. - Punishment must be carried out in one session, and if stopped by medical officers, it will not continue and will be replaced with imprisonment
