The Department of Foreign Affairs says they are assisting two Canadians barred from leaving Malaysia, amid reports that the pair could be charged after allegedly posing naked atop Mount Kinabalu, the country's highest peak.

    They kind of bury the lede a bit in this one so here's the important bits.

    Search efforts for six missing climbers continued on Sunday, after rescuers recovered 13 dead from a strong earthquake that had trapped scores of trekkers.

    Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Pairin Kitingan blamed the tragedy on a group of 10 foreigners who "showed disrespect to the sacred mountain" by posing naked at the peak last week. He said a special ritual would be conducted later to "appease the mountain spirit."

    Officials have said the foreigners -- including two Canadians -- broke away from their entourage and stripped naked before taking photos at the mountain peak on May 30.

    Seriously? Why did they think it would be a good idea to travel to another countries holy site, and get naked?

    That aside . .spirits of the mountain? It's 2015, not 1015.
