THE DEPUTY HIGH MINISTER
HAS TOLD CHIEF JUSTICE
HE IS ANGERED
1:34:22
ABOUT SOME
INTERNATIONAL NEWS STORY,

1:34:25
[SPEAKING MALAY]
1:34:27
M.J. MAJOR.
1:34:29
[CONTINUES SPEAKING

1:34:32
Translator:
AN AMERICAN STORY
THAT WAS PICKED UP
1:34:34
BY THEASIAN
INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNE.
1:34:36
Judge:
"IN A COUNTRY PROUD
OF ITS MANY SPECIES
1:34:38
"OF EXOTIC BUTTERFLIES,
1:34:40
"A BUTTERFLY IS ABOUT
TO BE BROKEN ON A WHEEL.
1:34:44
"THE WHEEL IS
MALAYSIAN JUSTICE--
1:34:47
A TERM WHICH STRIKES
ONE AMERICAN WOMAN
AS A CRUEL JOKE."
1:34:52
YOUR HONOR--
1:34:53
Judge: "THE WOMAN IS
BETH McBRIDE, 28..."
1:34:55
PLEASE BELIEVE ME
WHEN I SAY I HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS.
1:34:58
"...ARRESTED
TWO YEARS AGO IN PANANG.
1:35:00
"BLAMED FOR HAVING
BOUGHT THE LION'S SHARE
OF HASHISH
1:35:02
"WITH TWO FRIENDS,
1:35:04
THIS NATURE-LOVING
YOUNG MAN NOW INCREDIBLY
FACES DEATH."
1:35:09
SHE WAS DETERMINED
TO WRITE THE STORY,
YOUR HONOR--
1:35:12
SILENCE!
1:35:14
WE KNOW YOU WESTERNERS
DON'T UNDERSTAND
1:35:17
OUR ATTITUDE
TOWARD DRUGS,
1:35:18
BUT WE DON'T
UNDERSTAND YOURS.
1:35:20
YOUR CITIES
ARE DECAYING.
1:35:22
THE SOULS OF
YOUR YOUNG PEOPLE
ARE STOLEN FROM YOU.
1:35:25
OUR LAWS
MAY SEEM HARSH,
1:35:27
BUT OUR STREETS
REMAIN SAFE,
1:35:29
AND OUR YOUTH
IS PROTECTED.
1:35:31
SO WHEN
AN AMERICAN JOURNALIST
TRIES TO CRITICIZE
1:35:34
OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM--
1:35:36
I BEGGED HER NOT TO.
I BEGGED HER.
1:35:37
I DID EVERYTHING
I POSSIBLY COULD...
1:35:38
SILENCE!
1:35:39
...TO STOP HER
FROM DOING IT!
1:35:41
[SPEAKING MALAY]
1:35:50
WHAT IS IT?
WHAT IS HE SAYING?
WHAT DID HE SAY?
