KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 — A day before Kartika Sari Dewi Sukarno (picture) was to surrender herself to the Pahang Islamic authorities, the Sultan of Pahang has commuted her caning sentence according to an AP report.
The 33-year-old part-time model was supposed to be caned six times last August for the 2008 offence but it was called off at the last minute.
She would have been the fourth woman to be caned under Syariah law in Malaysia.
The Malaysian Insider understands that the punishment was to have been carried out within a month of the department’s final decision.
