Just the other day, I heard someone boasting about quality time, drinking beer together with his young daughter in some fine places. What's wrong with that?, he asked.This was the moment that the daughter would remember all her life and would perhaps look back fondly after he was all long gone. In the Buddhist five precepts, the pañca-sikkhāpada or pañca-sīla, the fifth percepts Surā-meraya-majja-pamādahānā veramaī sikkhāpada samādiyāmi is always associated with the abstainence of hard drinks which I suppose include beer, whiskey, toddy and the likes. In the Net, there is news on a Singaporean Muslim model, Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, 32, being fined 5,000 ringgit and sentenced by the Malaysian religious court to six strokes of the cane after she drank beer in a nightclub. The Pahang Sharia High Court judge, Abdul Rahman Yunus felt the sentence was fair and the cane, he said was aimed at making the accused repent and served as a lesson to Muslims. Now, what's wrong with that?
