Is this the country that does the caning thing or am I thinking about Singapore?
I think it is both countries:
LGBT rights in Malaysia
"Up to 20 years imprisonment with caning and fines. and foreigners may be deported."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Malaysia
I am amused that it is in an article labelled "rights".
You have the right to be caned, to be fined, and to be deported.
I know the real reason is the subtle wordplay and brainwashing in order to normalize the term "rights" with the term "LGBT" to make it seem like a standard linkage, but in this particular case, falls very flat.
