‘Much of Bill still unclear’


Giving an explanation: Abdul Hadi speaking at the meeting with The Federation of Hokkien Associations of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur.

Its president Tan Sri Khoo Chai Kaa said many were still unclear about the Bill’s powers and jurisdiction, especially that which touches on the rights of non-Muslims.
