KOTA BARU: The PAS-led Kelantan government will convene a special state assembly meeting on Dec 29 to table two private member Bills that will allow the enforcement of the Syariah Criminal Code II that it approved in 1993, before it seeks Parliament’s nod for what is widely known as its hudud law.

Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob said at a press conference at Kota Darul Naim yesterday that all the amendments to the Kelantan Government Syariah Penal Code (amended) 2014 would be tabled for debate by all state assemblymen.
