Tourists Who Str*pped On A Malaysian Mountain Blamed For Earthquake And Thrown In Jail

A group of tourists who ascended Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia and stripped down have been arrested and placed in jail in the Asian country.

The arrested tourists, four in number and including a British lady, are accused of lewd and indecent behaviour for stripping atop the mountain, and face up to three months in jail.

However, and more ludicrously, some locals are blaming the group for an earthquake that hit the town soon after their arrest. According to the Daily Beast, the indigenous Kadazan Dusun people are enraged by the tourists’ lewd behaviour and suspect that their tomfoolery set off a magnitude 5.9 earthquake on Kinabalu last Friday, which killed 18 climbers.

They believe the Kinabalu is a sacred mountain, and that the stripping, as well as the tourist’s reportedly urinating on the mountain, angered the mountain god who sent down a quake.

Their tribal priest is apparently very angry and says the god can only be appeased with a fine of 10 buffaloes.

The four arrested tourists remain in jail though, as Malaysian authorities investigate their lewd behaviour.

Seems the ignorance and superstition does not plague only those of us stuck on this backwards continent.
