KUANTAN, April 7 (Bernama) -- The Syariah High Court here on Wednesday sentenced a cook to a year's jail and six strokes of the rotan for consuming liquor.Mohd Sabri Zulkepli, 24, pleaded guilty to committing the offence at the Kuantan Parade shopping complex at 5.30pm on Feb 13.
Judge Datuk Abdul Rahman Md Yunos said the sentence, which he ordered to run from the date of arrest on Feb 13, was to serve as a lesson to him to repent for what he had done.
In mitigation Mohd Sabri, who was unrepresented, pleaded for leniency, saying that he earned only RM550 a month as a cook.
Syarie deputy public prosecutor Farhana Md Yusuf appeared for the prosecution.

tunku : i don't understand why different punishment for different people for the same offence that is consuming liquor in the public.Kartika was punished with a penalty of RM5000 and 6 strokes of rotan but in the end because of to much "hoo haa" and publicity she escaped the punishment and was ordered to do some community service at Rumah Kanak-kanak Tengku Ampuan Fatimah for three weeks only. Why this guy Mohd Sabri can be punished the same way as Kartika? May be he did not get the publicity from the media and all the "hoo haa". Why the double standard here? kartika was given so much publicity that people forgotten the sin she had committed and start making her as a star.

The judge and all the people at majlis agama should be punished with imprisonment of 100years for failure to educate the Muslim by birth..community. That cook didnt make an application to become a muslim..when he was born..it was automatic. He had no choice...so its the duty of those who took the power from Allah...(Islam Milik Allah Tapi Manusia Yang Berkuasa)...to teach that cook to beramal...
If they fail to do that....what rights do they have to punish that cook...
