G25 representative and former Malaysian Ambassador to the Netherlands, Datuk Noor Farida Ariffin.

PETALING JAYA: Moderate Malaysians must stand firm against the move to amend the Syariah Court (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 as it will alter the secular nature of Malaysia, said a member of the G25 eminent Malays’ group.

Datuk Noor Farida Ariffin (pic) said it was vital to uphold Malaysia’s secular Constitution, which is the social contract agreed upon by the country’s founding fathers.
