Indonesia city to ban women 'straddling motorbikes'

[The Straight Story]

A city in the Indonesian province of Aceh which follows Sharia has ordered female passengers not to straddle motorbikes behind male drivers.

Suaidi Yahya, mayor of Lhokseumawe, says it aims to save people's "morals and behaviours".

Leaflets have been sent out to government offices and residents to inform them about the regulation.

Aceh is the only Indonesian province that follows Sharia.

Under the new regulation, the mayor says that women passengers are only allowed to sit "side-saddle" because straddling the bike seat violates Islamic values.

2. So, the Indonesian Government prefers girl-on-girl motorcycle action?

That's so hawt.

3. When a young man sees a female sitting side-saddle, the first thing they think about is her junk.

Is this what they want?
