Two Canadians, Lindsey Petersen and his sister Danielle,  are being held in Malaysia after a recent deadly earthquake as local officials blame a group of tourists for the natural disaster. A number of foreigners, the siblings included, apparently climbed Mount Kinabalu last week and some posed naked for a photo at its peak.  Petersen’s Facebook page says the Glentworth Saskatchewan man has been traveling for several months in southeast Asia. Prior to leaving on his travels, his LinkedIn profile shows he worked as a farm hand and earned a  Bachelor of Science in electronic systems engineering from the University of Regina. He has met up with his sister Danielle in a couple of countries during their travels. Authorities in Malaysia said the two may be charged this week.
