...Kartika, 32, had steeled herself to her punishment after having pleaded guilty to consuming alcohol while at a resort in 2007. On Monday morning, she donned an Islamic headscarf, planted a kiss on the cheek of her 5-year-old daughter and got into a van to make the 270-km journey to a women's prison outside the capital of Kuala Lumpur.
