Asyraf: Ignore DAP’s dangerous ‘hudud dance’
(Bernama) – Do not follow DAP’s ‘tap and dance’ on the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) (Amendment) Bill 2016 that was tabled by PAS at the Dewan Rakyat on May 26, said Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Department.
Asyraf Wajdi said the bill only involved the empowerment of the Syariah Court, and not the hudud punishment.
“I advise the public to not follow what is being promoted by them as it will build an air of animosity among each other in this country.
“I advise the public to not easily overreact with what is promoted by DAP as it will trigger instability in the country,” he said after launching the Taawun Squad Programme and Ihya Ramadhan at the Kelantan state level, at the Maktab Rendah Sains Mara Hall in Pasir Tumboh here on Friday.
The DAP leadership has strongly opposed bills related to Kelantan’s syariah court which the party claims to be opening the path to the implementation of hudud in Malaysia.
Asyraf Wajdi said the Kelantan Umno Liaison Committee will soon give a briefing to the representatives of the component parties.
He also expressed his confidence that his friends in the BN components will understand more clearly after getting enough information.
