BAGAN DATUK: The Federal Court's decision to strike down 16 provisions in the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code Enactment (1) 2019 on Friday (Feb 9) should not be politicised, said the Deputy Prime Minister.
Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said this is because the decision concerns the legislative provisions passed by the Kelantan State Legislative Assembly (DUN) and not the jurisdiction of the Syariah Court.
