KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said all concerned parties should bring their suggestions to the Special Committee Studying Issues Related to the Competence of the State Legislative Assemblies to Enact Islamic Laws.
He also asserted that the recent decision made by the Federal Court in relation to the Kelantan Shariah criminal enactment must be respected as it was in line with the Federal Constitution and its spirit.
“I welcome the statement by Selangor Sultan as the chairman of the National Council of Islamic Religious Affairs who firmly defended the Constitution.
“If there are any suggestions, please refer to the special committee. We have appointed former chief justice Tun Zaki Azmi to chair the committee to review the issues related to the Islamic and Shariah law,” he said.
