Study shows most Muslims want Syariah law

WE agree with the 25 top Malay figures that a solution must be found to “the continuing unresolved disputes on the position and application of Islamic laws in this country” in “Need for a consultative process” (The Star, Dec 8).

The disputes are rooted in the tension created by the marginalisation of Islamic law and administration in the Federal Constitution as state matters with very limited jurisdiction which goes against the wishes of Muslims, who constitute the majority here, to live under Syariah law.
