KUALA LUMPUR: While some have deemed it excessive, the government cannot interfere in the court's decision to impose a 10-year jail sentence on a man who insulted Islam, says Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Liew Vui Keong.

"It is up to the courts. We as the executive, cannot interfere with the decision of the judiciary on this matter," he said.
