Apex court decision can have impact on powers of Royal institution, claims Hamzah

PETALING JAYA: The Federal Court judgement regarding the 16 provisions of the Kelantan state syariah law that have been deemed unconstitutional can have a huge impact on the powers of the Royal institution, claims Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.

"If viewed from a layman's point of view, this decision could significantly impact the eroding of the powers and jurisdictions of the Malay Rulers," the Opposition Leader said.
