| Islamic women's group defends Malaysian arrestees | 76 CRIMES Posted: 03 Sep 2014 05:17 AM PDT  Johor Bahru is just north of SIngapore in mainland Malaysia. (Map courtesy of SkyScraperCity.com) Sisters in Islam, or SIS, a Malaysian women's rights organization, has come to the defense of two female students arrested Sept. 1 on suspicion of having same-sex relations in a hotel in Johor Bahru in mainland Malaysia, north of Singapore. Nine officers from the Johor Islamic Religious Department raided their hotel room, the Sinar Harian newspaper reported. The raid was apparently made on the basis of a citizen's accusation. BuzzFeed reported:
The charge was an alleged violation of Johor's syariah (sharia) law against lesbian sex. According to the Rakyat Post of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, SIS legal officer Rashidi Abd Rahim argued that prosecutors must prove that the alleged sex act had actually taken place. However, the police had no proof that any sex act had occurred, SIS said, but only observed that one of the women was unclothed and that the couple, ages 20 and 21, had purchased a sex toy. The terms of the law need to be observed, or "otherwise, we will open the flood gates, with people prosecuted based on an accusation," Rashidi Abd Rahim told The Rakyat Post. If convicted, the women face potential punishments of three years in jail, six cane strokes, and a fine of RM5,000 (US $1,570). This article was revised on Sept. 3 to correct the potential punishment that the women face. Related articles  |
| <b>Hotel</b> CIQ in <b>Johor</b> Bahru, Malaysia, selects Journeyful for Booking <b>...</b> Posted: 02 Jun 2014 11:17 AM PDT Published on : Monday, June 2, 2014
"Journeyful's booking engine is elegantly designed and integrates seamlessly onto our existing website," says Ms Thacha K., Sales Manager of Hotel CIQ. "This is the perfect solution for us as we needed a simple-to-use tool that allows our guests to make room bookings and purchase add-on services with us securely, around the clock, via our website." The affordable, turnkey solution was developed by Journeyful to address the needs of small and budget hotels. The booking engine is designed to fulfill a hotel website's key objective – to convert website visitors into bookings. The booking engine was designed to be both customer-friendly and very simple for hotel staff to use. It can be deployed onto a hotel's website, and the hotel staff can be trained to use it – both in under an hour. "We are focused on helping hotels increase profitability by giving them exactly the tools need. The Journeyful booking engine allows hotels to secure immediate and guaranteed bookings for their unsold rooms," says Ivan Chong Han, who heads booking engine sales for Journeyful. "We absorb the integration costs and customers pay the hotel directly upon arrival. It's a win-win situation for the hotels." Hotels add booking engines to their website to provide instant confirmation to customers who wish to book a room. The cost of a booking engine is significantly lower than the steep commissions charged by third party channels, such as Online Travel Agencies. Journeyful booking engines are designed to dramatically improve a hotel's profitability by enabling more guests to book direct. Developments are underway to improve the booking engine's features, which will be released in later versions of the technology. Source:- Hotel CIQ Tags: Hotel CIQ, Travel Technology news |
