Religious Dept drops case against Idayu

"Not enough evidence". A month after arresting her for allegedly "exposing her body" and "encouraging immoral activities" [see my previous posting] at her workplace, the Perak Religious Department has dropped the case against nightclub singer Siti Nor Idayu. She has been advised to "dress properly next time" by the department but has insisted that "I still know what I can and cannot do".

I believe Muslims in this country know what we can and cannot do. We are like other adult Malaysian citizens - we can tell what's good and what's bad. We are educated enough to know the consequences of our actions. We know the kind society we live in. We know the rules. We, the Muslims in this country, are law-abiding. Therefore, dear so-called moral policemen, please stop snooping around to try and shame us and, as long as we not committing a crime, please stop telling us that what we do, where we work and how we dress will land us in hell. That's for the Almighty to decide.
