PUTRAJAYA: The government has given assurance that it will meticulously scrutinise the proposed amendments to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 or Act 355 by taking into consideration the views of stakeholders.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said this would include the views of the non-Muslims even though the matter neither involved nor affected them as enshrined in the Federal Constitution.
