    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Malaysia#Dual_justice_system

    "The dual system of law is provided in Article 121(1A) of the Constitution of Malaysia. Article 3 also provides that Islamic law is a state law matter with the exception for the Federal Territories of Malaysia.[1] Islamic law refers to the sharia law, and in Malaysia it is known and spelled as syariah. The court is known as the Syariah Court. Looking at the Malaysian legal system as a whole, sharia law plays a relatively small role in defining the laws on the country. It only applies to Muslims. With regards to civil law, the Syariah courts has jurisdiction in personal law matters, for example marriage, inheritance, and apostasy. In some states there are sharia criminal laws, for example there is the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code Enactment 1993. Their jurisdiction is however limited to imposing fines for an amount not more than RM 5000, and imprisonment to not more than 3 years. In August 2007, the then Chief Justice of Malaysia proposed to replace the current common law application in Malaysia with sharia law.[2]"

    Hello, little man. Boy, I sure heard a bunch about you. See, I was a good friend of your dad's. We were in that Imperial pit of hell together for over five years. Hopefully, you'll never have to experience this yourself, but when two men are in a situation like me and your dad were, for as long as we were, you take on certain responsibilities of the other. If it had been me who had not made it, Anakin Skywalker would be talking right now to my son Jim. But the way it turned out is I'm talking to you, Luke. I got something for ya. [Holds up lightsaber] This lightsaber I got here was first crafted by your great-grandfather during the first clone war. It was made in a little workshop on Endor, made by the first Jedi to ever make lightsabers. Up until then, Jedi just carried swords. This was your great-grandfather's war lightsaber, and he wore it every day he was in the war. Then when he had done his duty, he went home to your great-grandmother, took the lightsaber off and put it in an old shoe box. And in that box it stayed 'til your granddad Dane Skywalker was called upon by the Jedi Council to go and fight the clones once again. This time they called it the second clone war. Your great-grandfather gave this lightsaber to your granddad for good luck. Unfortunately, Dane's luck wasn't as good as his old man's. Dane was a idiot and he was killed along with all the other idiots at the battle of Tatooine. Your granddad was facing death, and he knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leaving that desert alive. So three days before the Hutts took the planet, your granddad asked a gunner on a Rebel transport named Winocki, a man he had never met before in his life, to deliver to his infant son, who he had never seen in the flesh, his lightsaber. Three days later, your granddad was dead. But Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father, his Dad's lightsaber. This lightsaber. This lightsaber was on your Daddy's belt when he was shot down over Endor. He was captured and put in an Imperial prison camp. He knew if the Sith ever saw the lightsaber that it'd be confiscated; taken away. The way your Dad looked at it, this lightsaber was your birthright. He'd be damned if any imperial scum were gonna put their greasy clone hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something. His ass. Five long years, he wore this lightsaber up his ass. And then he died of dysentery, he gave me the lightsaber. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the lightsaber to you.

    Right now I'm going to a community college and I plan on transferring to the UC system once I graduate (I'm going to graduate with two A.A. degrees). Doing what I should have done years ago and getting my degree. It just surprises me how many courses have no hands-on projects, pretty much everything is done out of the textbook. I was actually quite surprised by the quality of the TCP/IP class I took. It was quite a good refresher and is taught by one of the CISCO Academy profs.

After a series of legal proceedings in England, McKinnon is currently fighting extradition to the United States.
