Ex-IGP warns of PAS’ tactic to slowly push for hudud law

He expressed concern about the multi-cultural fabric of the country and the effect on Sabah and Sarawak if PAS president Datuk Seri Hadi Awang’s Private Member’s Bill to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act is passed in parliament.
