Original Note:
While Malaysia does have sharia law, judicial caning was imposed by British colonial rule in the 1900s during their occupation. It is stated in the video that the caning demonstration was for criminal offences in the penal code and not for sharia offences. 1. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/press-release/2010/12/malaysia-torture-practiced-systematically-widespread-caning/ 2. https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2022/08/22/review-caning-as-a-punishment
