KOTA BARU: Kelantan has set aside RM1mil to ensure the smooth implementation of hudud laws in the state next year.
Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob said on his Facebook that the laws were intended for the good of the people.
"A sum of RM1mil has been set aside for the purpose and with great hope that the people of Kelantan accept God's laws next year and cooperate with the government to make the Syariah Criminal Procedure Code a reality," he said.
Recently, a committee to fine-tune the Syariah Penal Code II 1993 headed by Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan said work was 90% completed for a Private Member's Bill to be tabled in Parliament next year to enable the state to implement the laws by 2015.
MCA's Religious Harmony Bureau head Datuk Ti Lian Ker said PAS was not ready to enforce hudud laws and was "jumping the gun" in pushing through the law in Kelantan.
He said PAS showed it was not prepared for the implementation since 1993 and giving false assurances that they "are now 90% ready."
