JAKARTA - Mohd Affendi Awang, 42, will be the first person in Terengganu, Malaysia to be sentenced to caning related to a calwat or perverted case on Friday this week.

Kuala Terengganu district police chief 18, Azli Mohd Noor said his party had implemented the rules for the smooth execution of the public.

Only 70 people were allowed to enter the room where the caning was carried out. I advise people who attended the Ladang Mosque on Friday to hurry up immediately after completing Friday prayers," he said in a written statement, Tuesday, December 25, quoted from Bernama.

He also reminded the public not to gather outside or around the Ladang Mosque complex in Terengganu because it could interfere with the smooth execution process.

Azli explained, 70 people who are allowed to see the execution process are prohibited from carrying telecommunications devices such as telephones and video recorders.

Not allowed to record anything. Police will conduct an inspection to ensure no electronic or telecommunication devices are brought to the punishment room. The punishment has been decided. I ask all parties to respect the law and not to create chaos," he said.

For the sake of smooth execution, the police have prepared 40 members to maintain the successive caning process.

As for the trial of this case, Mohd Affendi Awang admitted that he was guilty of repeatedly carrying out the calwat based on Article 31 (a) Amendment to the Law on Sharia Crimes (Terengganu) 2022 for halwat.

Mohd Affendi Awang was later sentenced to caning by the Kuala Terengganu Syariah High Court on November 20.
