KUALA LUMPUR: The Government has decided not to table the Private Member's Bill to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act or RUU355 in line with the principle of consensus, says Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak (pic).

"Therefore it will remain a Private Member's Bill and if it is presented, it will depend on the Speaker's instructions," Najib, who is also Prime Minister, said on Wednesday night after chairing the coalition's supreme council meeting at its headquarters at Menara Dato' Onn here.
