KUALA LUMPUR: Any issue that arises from the proposal to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 (Revised 1988) (Act 355) to impose heavier punishments on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community should be “addressed prudently”, says the de facto religious affairs minister.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri said that in order for them to change, a soft approach should be used to “educate the community”.
