1000 lashes + 5 years

I remember having a conversation with some chinese friends and they couldnt understand why do we have lashes in our law. when i tell them about it they seem to be shocked that such thing exists. But to us its normal and u hear news reporters talk about maximum punishment will be X number of years or Y number of lashes or both.

And i was reading this news about this guy from Saudi, interviewed and his interview showed over the TV. The problem come about when he talked about his sex life in the interview. Saudi being an islamic country obviously didnt like it and gave him a sentence that will make him suffer for his remaining life.

5 years and 1000 lashes. I wonder how the 1000 lashes are going to be executed. if it is similar to the lashes we know in Malaysia, then i wish him best of luck. and seriously..comparing the 5 years and 1000 lashes. 5 years is negligible.
