Now, MIC president pledges to quit Cabinet if hudud kicks in

(MMO) – MIC president Datuk Seri S Subramaniam promised today he will quit as minister if the hudud, the controversial Islamic criminal law, is implemented.

The health minister echoed his other non-Muslim Cabinet colleagues, saying he would explore all options to push for the withdrawal of PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang’s private member’s Bill to amend the Shariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 from being tabled in Parliament.

“This morning I had brief discuss with CWC. I told them if after all our attempts to correctly stop it fails and hudud is eventually implemented, then I said I will relinquish my post as minister,” he told reporters after his party’s extraordinary general meeting here.
