The Religion of Paid Busybodies?

Oh boy. The Malaysian chapter of the Religion of Peace and Paid Sex Spies, or Mat Skoding as they say, are on a roll with their "ingenuous plan" to:

"...avert soaring cases of close proximity and vice here, the Terengganu Government has initiated an ingenious plan where “Mat Skoding” or spies will be recruited to tip-off the state religious department of immoral activities. “Mat Skoding” will be part of the voluntary squad, under the guidance of state religious advisors, acting as vigilantes here. State Islam Hadhari and Welfare Committee chairman Datuk Rosol Wahid said: “Some of these ‘spies’ could be waitresses or even janitors at hotels acting as auxiliary undercover agents for our religious department.”

The “Mat Skoding” would be rewarded for their tip-offs, he told The Star here yesterday.
Rosol said the trained “spies” would be on the lookout for unmarried couples behaving suspiciously or for vice activities throughout the state. “Accurate details are required for the enforcement officers to act, otherwise they would be pouncing on married couples,” he said.
Rosol said the “spies” would keep surveillance at parks and secluded areas to nab dating couples intending to engage in sex.

They busted in on this American couple, (aged 62 and 61) in their vacation condo back in October.

It's Thursday, February 22 in Malaysia now and the authorities are doing a little bit of backtracking. Don't worry they assure us - they're going to be spying on Muslims only.

Yeah, right.
