As many have pointed out and lots more experienced, Kuala Lumpur is a very cruisy city and there are lots of guys around looking for sex. Now, though, the Malaysian Prime Minister, under fire and fighting off a mega corruption charge, has announced that the country will only adhere to human rights "in the context if Islam and the Shariah". He added, "Even though it is difficult to defend internationally, we must defend our definition of human rights," quoted the Malay Mail.
Noting LGBT rights, PM Najib Rajak said that some of the "more extreme aspects of human rights" would not be defended by Malaysia. He said this is in line with the Islamic teaching of balance and moderation.
Human Rights Watch has slammed the speech. The organisation's Deputy Director said he was shocked by the decision. He said, "The logical argument from that would be Malaysia should resign from the UN. Is Malaysia prepared to do that?"
