Bill prompts strong opposition from Barisan


Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang

KUALA LUMPUR: PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang on May 26 tabled a Private Member’s Bill in Parliament to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, which will expand the range of punishments in the syariah courts.

It caught everyone by surprise when the Bill, listed as Item 14 in the day’s Order Papers, leaped over other items to be tabled.
