Brunei Sharia

NON-MUSLIM CITIZENRY FROM BRUNEI NOT ALLOWED TO DRINK ALCOHOL, EVEN WHILE ABROAD…….

 

This is Islam, wherever it reigns supreme.

Islam is a very, very public square ideology, you have to come to terms with that reality before you begin to understand the other issues emanating from the destructive creed. Sharia law is not just for Muslims.

Non-Muslim Bruneians can’t drink in public abroad

|     Khal Baharulalam     |

ALCOHOL consumption in the public by non-Muslim citizens and/or permanent residents during their time abroad would be punishable under the Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction of the Syariah Penal Code Order 2013, which will be implemented in Brunei on April 22. This was made clear by the panel of speakers at the Syariah Briefing conducted especially for the International Students Association in Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) yesterday.

However, it was said that for crimes that fall under the Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction in Chapter 184 of the Syariah Penal Code of 2013, “It is not the local authorities’ responsibility to go to every other country in the hope of keeping tabs of these misconducts committed by citizens and permanent residents of Brunei”, essentially clarifying that those who have committed such crimes will be charged should a complaint be made against them by the nation’s citizens or permanent residents for their public alcohol consumption in countries outside of Brunei.

In relation to that, it was clarified at the briefing that private alcohol consumption among non-Muslims is not a crime, be it in or out of the country.
