Malaysian Bar: All legislation must adhere to Federal Constitution


PETALING JAYA: The Syariah and Harmo­nisation of Law division must ensure all legislation adhere to the Federal Constitution and “ouster clauses” that exclude court jurisdictions be removed, says the Malaysian Bar.

Its president George Varughese said the setting-up of the division as announced by the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) was a step in the right direction to harmonise civil and syariah laws to “overcome conflict of jurisdiction between both courts”.
