Islamic spies to snoop on Malaysian lovers

[Doondoo]

A Malaysian state plans to recruit "spies" from the public to snoop on unmarried lovers and report them to Islamic religious authorities, a newspaper said today.

The Terengganu state government plans to enlist the part-time spies to look out for un-Islamic behaviour, such as unmarried couples kissing or holding hands, the Star daily said.

"Some of these 'spies' could be waitresses or even janitors at hotels acting as auxiliary undercover agents for our religious department," the head of the state government's Islamic and welfare committee, Rosol Wahid, was quoted as saying.

"Accurate details are required for the enforcement officers to act, otherwise they could be pouncing on married couples."

1. Sounds like the fundamentalists in this country...

Always with their eye pressed to the keyhole of other people's bedrooms while tugging on their tumid joysticks.

2. Religious authorities my arse....

Those that claim to be the most rightious are usually the least. Lucky such extreme rightious activities are usually reserved in only two states that has the most godly people as leaders. If they try such activities in many other states in the country, they will face the full wrath of people who do not follow such a rightious way of life.
