I doubt many on here would have done the same ..........
Oh, and Pug, it may have been on a mountain but it was on a mountain in full view of over a hundred others, many of whom were Malaysian guides who would have been deeply offended.

Re: The Mount Kinabalu strippers
Malaysia is a stiflingly Conservative culture and whilst the strippers should of perhaps have behaved with a tad more sensitivity I was amused to read the locals believed their actions caused the subsequent earthquake! I spent much of my 20's backpacking and Kibbutzing and witnessed a lot of bad behaviour from British and Commonwealth backpackers, but hey; these are just vibrant, adventurous youths having a whole "lotta" fun. *Sigh* if only I could turn that clock back!!12-06-2015, 01:09 PM

No-send 'em home,in shame,publicised shame....but DON'T get all 12th century about it! It was on top of a MOUNTAIN,and it was momentary. This whole non-event is the result of somebody wanting to earn a few £££ from the papers...after all,what would they be saying had there NOT been an earthquake?? I understand entirely that this was warned against by their guide,who explained WHY the mountain is sacred...but we were ALL young once...a dare is a dare....NOT a statement of disregard for religious beliefs.

Re: The Mount Kinabalu strippers
I don't think this is anything to do with "respect" for other peoples' religions/culture. I've travelled all over the world and have nothing but utter contempt for many peoples' beliefs and culture. The difference is, I have common sense and didn't do anything in those peoples' countries which I knew would be either illegal or offensive. These kids were stupid, not evil and three days in jail is about right!

By using your common sense you are, indeed, respecting other peoples' culture.

You're right he's not right Patsy. (work that one out).
Anyway, being 'young and silly' has nothing to do with it.
Respect and common sense should be taught from a very young age, and these idiots certainly were not children. It was a deliberate act which they were asked not to do, but they chose to do it anyway. They were lucky to have got off as lightly as they did.
If it had been Saudi they might have had them chopped off!
