PAS should include hudud law in manifesto, says Chua

The MCA president wants the opposition party to spell out details about the law.

(BERNAMA) – PAS should include the hudud law in its election manifesto and make it a common agenda for the opposition pact in the coming general election, spelling out all the details about the law, MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek said today.

“I would suggest, as a matter of transparency, that PAS include the hudud law and its implementation, in their general election manifesto.

“And since they always say that they will never do anything without consulting their partners, I would suggest that it be made a common agenda of the opposition,” he said.

Speaking at a forum on “Hudud and Its Implications on Non-Muslims in Malaysia” organised by the Institute of Strategic Analysis and Policy Research, here, Chua said the hudud law would affect all Malaysians although PAS had claimed that it would not affect the non-Muslim community.

The panellists at the half-day forum comprised legal practitioners and government officers dealing with Islamic affairs.

Among them were the International Movement For a Just World (JUST) president Prof Chandra Muzaffar and Religious Adviser to Terengganu Menteri Besar Mohd Kamal Saidin
