Zaid: Ahmad Fairuz’s argument on Islamic law erroneous and dangerous

By RAHIMY RAHIM

Former Law Minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim.

PETALING JAYA: The remarks by former Chief Justice Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim that any law contrary to Islamic scriptures is null and void has drawn flak from several senior lawyers and an ex-judge.

Civil liberties lawyer Syahredzan Johan said Article 3 of the Federal Constitution, which Ahmad Fairuz based his argument on, did not make Malaysia an Islamic state.
