Selangor Ruler's decree will cool rising heat over apex court ruling, says PM

KUALA LUMPUR: The decree by Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah could put to rest political criticisms of the Federal Court ruling involving the Kelantan syariah criminal enactment, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister, in his speech at a Chinese New Year celebration on Thursday (Feb 15), said the decree by Sultan Sharafuddin, who is also the Malaysian National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs (MKI) chairman, for all parties to respect the decision by the apex court, will help cool down the rising political temperature.
