Wednesday, June 10, 2015, 10:02 AM - Two Canadians are among those arrested by the Malaysian government after last week's earthquake.
CNN reports the two were among four foreigners accused of causing the quake by stripping nude atop Mount Kinabalu.
Sri Alfred Jabu, the deputy chief minister of the state of Sabah, which is located in the north of the island of Borneo, told state media he agreed with local indigenous people that the tourists "may have angered the spirit of the mountain" by their actions.
