Two Lesbians Caned In Public In Malaysia For Engaging In Sex - Crime -

Knificent.blogspot.com .

Two lesbians caned in public for engaging in lesbian sex in a car were in Malaysia, have also been finned by a court on Monday.

The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community is routinely persecuted in Muslim-majority Malaysia, where they are seen as a threat to conservative values.

The women, aged 32 and 22, had pleaded guilty in August to attempting lesbian sex, forbidden under Islamic law.

They were sentenced to a fine and six lashings of the cane.

The sentence was carried out in front of about 100 people at the Sharia High Court in Terengganu, a conservative state ruled by the Islamist opposition party Pan-Malaysian Islamist Party, according to a report by English-language daily the New Straits Times.

It was the first conviction for same-sex relations and the first time a caning had been carried out in public in the state, Satiful Mamat, a member of the Terengganu state executive council told Reuters.

“Sharia criminal procedure allows the court to determine where the sentence will be carried out and requires that it must be witnessed by a number of other Muslims,” said Satiful, who attended the hearing.

Satiful said the punishment was “not intended to torture or injure”.

“The reason it is carried out in public is for it to serve as a lesson to society,” he said.

Malaysia has a dual-track legal system, with Islamic criminal and family laws applicable to Muslims running alongside civil laws.

The caning of women is banned under civil law but allowed under Islamic laws in some states.

Amnesty International said the caning marked “an appalling day” for human rights in Malaysia.

“To inflict this brutal punishment on two people for attempting to engage in consensual, same-sex relations is an atrocious setback on the government’s efforts to improve its human rights records,” Rachel Chhoa-Howard, the group’s Malaysia researcher, said.

Malaysian women’s groups, Justice for Sisters and Sisters in Islam called for a review of laws that allowed the caning of women.

“The execution that took place… is a travesty and a grave miscarriage of justice,” the groups said.

The case comes amid concerns around growing intolerance toward the LGBT community in Malaysia in recent weeks.

A transgender woman was beaten up by a group of assailants in Seremban, south of Kuala Lumpur on August 15, in what activists said was part of a growing hostility towards gay and transgender people.

How to get a job requiring years of experience with just NYSC experience - Jobs/Vacancies -

Knificent.blogspot.com

I was privileged to interview about about 15 applicants with 1 - 6 years post NYSC experience for a role. My take away include:

Years of experience is just a number - out of the applicants, the applicant with 1 year experience was better exposed, sound and suitable because he had worked with companies that had exposed him to several scenarios than entities that just pay you salaries for warming the chairs. I can tell if you are speaking based on book knowledge or experience and exposure.

Disregard the high unemployment rate, with time you can get your dream job without a godfather - the employment rate in Nigeria is still very high but the competition is extremely low. If you are truly sound, you will get that job as over 90% of applicants are jokers and uncompetitive; they are graduates but not for this jet-age.

When you go for an interview and meet people with Stanford degrees, don't hide and disqualify yourself even if all you got is a HND - majority of the applicants cannot defend their certificates. Be hungry, be ambitious and seek for knowledge. Your dream for a dream job is valid, you can achieve it if you distinguish yourself.

If you want to practice in a regulated field e.g Accounting, HR, Law et al, seek professional qualification before running off to bag an MBA/MSC - I interviewed for a finance role and one key learning points that was visible to the blind and audible to deaf was that applicants who were not even chartered accountants but had only passed a stage of ICAN examinations spoke like professionals and gave reasonable assumptions to practical questions. They could to an extent think out financial ideas and solutions.

During internships and post NYSC, don't settle for the pay cheque, settle for the experience and exposure - majority of the applicants had years of experience without real experience in the years. First hustle for experience and exposure (2Es), money will come knocking when you are fully loaded with the 2Es.

Spend more time learning soft skills and less time with snapchat filters, whatsapp updates - no matter your field, learn how to use Microsoft office's Word, PowerPoint and Excel. You don't have to be an expert, learn beyond the basics. For financial enthusiasts, learn beyond Excel's SUM function, know how to use Pivot table at least.

In conclusion, applicants should learn to own the interview session; speak like you are gisting with your mom, dad, pastor and not a "god". Be lively, laugh (it makes you human). I used to be an introvert but in interviews, I take charge as the applicant; I laugh. I remember tears "loading" in my eyes a few yearsago before a panel of an oil and gas company when they told me I was the best so far but overqualified for the role (who overqualication help Sir? Mr. Panelist, give me this mountain [job]). They gave me a referral to another company but I don't just apply to any company.

It is your stage not the panelist's, don't just perform like most musical artists, entertain, be hungry, be ambitious. You can land that dream job.

FRSC Officials To Carry Arms - Politics -

FRSC officials to bear arms

Sooner than later, personnel of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) could turn up at their duty posts armed.
A member of the FRSC board, who sought anonymity, told The Guardian: “The FRSC has built its armoury in Gwagwalada Abuja, while there are weapon rooms in all the commands of the corps.

We are waiting for government to gazette the approval and equip the armoury in line with the act that established the corps.


The essence of the ongoing training and workshop for the personnel is to prepare them on how to comport themselves while bearing arms on duty.”

The commission’s spokesman, Bisi Kazeem, however, disclosed that though the act permits FRSC personnel to bear arms, the corps is waiting for government to gazette the approval.

“I am not aware that the government has perfected a plan to gazette the approval. I am not aware of that,” he said.

In December 2016, the FRSC was forced to release a statement urging members of the public to ignore reports that the corps had begun distributing and mandating its personnel to carry arms.

It followed a complaint by Corps Marshal Boboye Oyeyemi that 70 officers lost their lives that year to reckless motorists.

Kazeem had told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the rumour was being circulated by mischievous elements seeking to provoke disorder in the society.

Some “irresponsible” people took a statement by the Corps Marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi, out of context to suit their agenda, he said.

“The Corps Marshal only stipulated that such a high number of loss could have been avoided, if FRSC personnel were carrying arms, as allowed by the law.


But, he quickly added that there is no immediate plan to implement the law that permits the officials to carry arms.

It is unfortunate that some wicked people now took that to mean he said officials are now being armed; it is a figment of their imagination,” he said.

Statistics show that rather than reduce, about 149 cases of attacks and 201 instances of damage to property of the commission have been reported in recent times.

But a member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Nnaemeka Nnadi, thinks arming marshals is a step too far.

He expressed concern that the move would put commuters and drivers at risk.

“Some of the personnel do all sorts of thing while on duty.

Some go the extra mile in using their official vehicle to block other vehicles on the highway.

Is that not a dangerous and stupid act? Some extort money from road users.


Arming them will give them more courage and guts to dare people recklessly while on duty,” he said.

A security expert, Ademola Ojeh, also dismissed the idea as unnecessary.

“I don’t know why government should arm FRSC personnel, when their job is not to arrest or kill criminals. Their work is more of civil than criminal.”

But reminded that the law permits them to bear arms, Oje replied: “That section of the act should be repealed.”

On his part, Patrick Adenusi, coordinator of a non-governmental organisation, Safety Beyond Borders, said attacks on marshals are no justification to issue them arms.

It will be recalled that in October, last year, the House of Representatives called on the Federal Government to facilitate the procurement of arms and ammunition for the FRSC.

It followed a motion by Bulus Maren (Plateau-PDP) where he expressed concern over violent attacks, harassment and intimidation of personnel by highly placed individuals, motorists and hoodlums.

He said cases in Zamfara, Jigawa, Abia and Lagos State were particularly disturbing.

“Officers sometimes discover offensive weapons in vehicles during routine operations on highways but are incapable of challenging occupants of such vehicles, as they lack the capacity to protect themselves from any attack that may arise,” Maren said.

The motion was unanimously adopted. The House, thereafter, mandated its committee on FRSC to investigate attacks.
