Malaysian Muslims are debating whether to shun Valentine's Day after the government warned that the celebration was a "trap" that could trigger indecent behaviour.
Although no laws prevent Malaysia's Muslim majority from marking the occasion with dinner dates and roses, officials have mounted a campaign insisting that such romantic gestures might tempt young people into having pre-marital sex.
Deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin said that the government was not trying to demean Valentine's Day, but stressed that it was "not suitable" for Muslims, who comprise nearly two-thirds of Malaysia's 28 million people.
