Refer to Federal Constitution, says law expert

PETALING JAYA: Resolving the issue of the conflict between federal and state jurisdictions on syariah law can be made by referring to the Federal Constitution and amending the legislation regarding syariah, says constitutional expert Prof Datuk Dr Shad Saleem Faruqi.

He said it is important for all segments of society to understand that the federal laws, which include the Constitution and other federal Acts, are already addressing various Islamic offences.
