KUALA LUMPUR: Criminalising personal behaviour violates human rights and the fundamental liberties guaranteed under the Federal Constitution, says the group of prominent retired civil servants G25.
"We in G25 respectfully appeal to the Federal Government and the Conference of Rulers to take the progressive stand that it is wrong for state governments, via their respective state Syariah Enactments, to criminalise the moral sins of Muslims and to mete out cruel forms of punishment against them," the group said in a statement on Sunday (Dec 22).
