Establishment of Syariah Prosecution Department a positive development, says Penang Mufti

GEORGE TOWN: The setting up of the Malaysian Syariah Prosecution Department is a positive development, especially in separating the roles and responsibilities of enforcement agencies from prosecution.

Penang Mufti, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor, said that it could end the overlapping of powers between the Islamic Religious Department and the Syariah Courts.
