So yeah...how will they overcome the paradox of "he who smelt it, dealt it?" Because technically, for the law enforcement to detect the fart, would have to mean they committed it themselves. Would the resulting paradox just make them...explode?
Seriously though, I think this place is just putting on airs. How can they odor people to hold in their farts? Furthermore, is it acceptable to release them in public bathrooms, at the very least?

This is, in fact, the greatest word play of all time. I commend you for this.
Also, about damn time. It's good to see a country finally cracking down on a serious issue like this. After all, with America busy failing economically, someone has to step up their game to pass some utterly moronic laws.
My butt has something really clever to say about this law, but it's full of shit.
Anyway, I totally love the way this law is going to encourage people to report their neighbors for passing gas. Who's going to tell if I fart in an empty dark hallway?

Exactly
What, are they going to have sensors to detect unusual transient chemicals in every hallway and on every street corner? This plan stinks. Malawi sure sounds like it'll be a blast to visit once this thing gets passed 
And thanks Jquestion
Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta.
A wise man once said, "You can't cut the cheese wherever you please. That's just nasty." Can't for the life of me remember who though. 
It'll come to me eventually, I'm sure.
In all seriousness, I'm sure Malawi has more important issues in their country than people letting one rip whilst gallavanting down Main Street. Like the sub-Saharan AIDS epidemic. And its scary high infant mortality rate. And human trafficking. And homosexuality being illegal. But yeah, let's make sure the people don't fart. Clearly that's priority #1.

That's hilarious and stupid at the same time. It's like turning around and saying to go against what nature wants. Haven't they got more pressing issues to worry about than this? People can be so damn silly at times.
So, what would happen if someone within an enormous crowd breaks wind and no one is really certain which person is responsible for it? Do we round up a section of the crowd which is the most culpable or the whole lot, then quarantine them until the one culprit is identified and criminalised? Yeah, there's going to be some issues with ease of implementation there. If they truly want to "mold responsible and disciplined citizens", why not just go after crime gangs - you know, actual criminals - and educate newer generations well enough to do that? As far as I'm concerned, while farting is unpleasant, it's a common enough thing that man has done naturally since virtually the dawn of time.
This has got to be the most ridiculous thing ever. If people do let one out for even an accident or they have problems in that area they are considered a criminal? Nobody can control wether it happens or not so therefore this law is really the most fucking stupid thing ever. Really a crime? I read this and couldnt stop laughing at the stupidity. So now this has kinda the same effect as killing? Killing goes on your criminal record but now letting one out does also? Malawi have got to be fucking stupid.
This is pretty funny! I want to comment on how stupid it is but I just keep laughing! My brothers and my fiance would be in trouble if they went to this country!
Though, I'm kind of glad a law this stupid exists so that I have something to mock.

That's just dumb.
They must have nothing better to do with their time.
Farting is not something that can be helped! Yes it would be nice not to do it in public so that it's courteous to people around you but what if you're in a public toilet? Is it illegal then too?
They may as well ask women not to go out in public when they're on their period as well.
It's a natural bodily function that can't be fucking helped sometimes you morons!
If you want something productive to do other than making these ridiculous laws, then come on over to my place. I've got a lot of washing and dishes and mowing here that you can do to keep yourself busy without looking like a fucking idiot!
