In Malaysia, the state government of Terengganu plans to recruit members of the public to watch out for and report un-Islamic behavior, such as unmarried couples holding hands or kissing. "Some of these 'spies' could be waitresses or even janitors at hotels acting as auxiliary undercover agents for our religious department," said Rosol Wahid, head of the state's Islamic and Welfare Committee.
