KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - A judge has ordered a Muslim man to be caned and jailed for drinking alcohol, two months after triggering a national debate for sentencing a woman to be whipped for a similar offense.

Islamic High Court judge Abdul Rahman Yunos in eastern Pahang state ordered the Indonesian worker Monday to serve a year in jail and be whipped six times, a court official said Tuesday. She declined to be identified citing protocol.

She said Nazarudin Kamaruddin pleaded guilty earlier this month to drinking liquor at a restaurant on Aug. 27. Unable to post bail, he has been in prison since being charged on Sept. 2, she said. He faced a maximum of three years in jail for the offense.
