Indonesia: Vice-President Praises Islamic Prostitution
Prostitution by any other name, it's still prostitution. It is remarkable, however, how finding justification for a practice in a "holy" book stops moral reasoning on its tracks: Leader praises 'legalised prostitution'
INDONESIA'S vice-president has said he sees nothing wrong in Arab men paying local women to marry, then divorcing them days or hours later, and suggested the practice - dismissed by critics as legalised prostitution - could boost tourism.Jusuf Kalla made the off-the-cuff remarks at a travel industry seminar on how to attract more Arab visitors to Indonesia.
Kalla said many Arab tourists travelled to the hill town of Puncak, near Jakarta, to enter into short-term marriage contracts with Indonesian women.[...]
Keep this in mind the next time you hear propaganda lauding Islam as being "pro-woman" and "pro-family".

Though things in Malaysia are not particularly rosy, there is a factual error in your headline: Malaysia: Vice-President Praises Islamic Prostitution.
I think it should read INDONESIA!!
