Stop wasting time discussing Constitutional amendments, says Zaid

PETALING JAYA: Following the Federal Court’s ruling on the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code, discussions on the necessity of amending the Constitution have raised questions about its practical implications, says former law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim.

He said there is a push within the reformist Parliament for further amendments, with the Umno Youth Chief, Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh, advocating for parity between syariah law and civil law, although the details remain unclear.
