PETALING JAYA: The position of the Syariah Courts is not affected by the Federal Court’s decision to strike out some sections in the Kelantan Syariah criminal law, says the minister in charge of Islamic affairs.
Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar said this is because the Federal Constitution guarantees the position of all Syariah Courts in each state and region in Malaysia.
