PAS moves to consolidate federal, state syariah laws


PETALING JAYA: A Private Member’s Bill which seeks to amend the Federal Constitution are among the moves that will be taken by PAS to “empower” the syariah law system following the Federal Court’s decision last week to strike out several provisions in the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code.

The party is also preparing a memorandum that will be submitted to the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs Malaysia (MKI) which is headed by Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
