No rush to amend constitution, says Mohd Na'im


KUALA LUMPUR: Any decision regarding the proposal to amend the Federal Constitution to allow states to enact syariah criminal laws should not be done hastily, says Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar.

The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) said the government takes note that there is a proposal to amend the constitution to give clear powers to the states to enact their own syariah criminal laws, adding that it needed a comprehensive study on the matter.
