Ngeh's statement on appointment of non-Muslim was an oversight, says Loke


PETALING JAYA: The statement by Beruas MP Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham to have a non-Muslim legal expert to be part of the special committee studying the functions of the Syariah Court was an oversight, says Anthony Loke.

Loke said the National Islamic Council (MKI) chaired by the Sultan of Selangor formed the special committee to study the proposal to strengthen Syariah Court's role.
