Saifuddin Nasution Ismail says in reality, Umno is not serious about pushing for any amendment to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, October 9, 2017.

UMNO information chief Annuar Musa’s remarks on working with PAS to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 is nothing but a bait for the Islamist party, said a PKR leader.

PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said this was because in reality, Umno was not serious about pushing for the amendment, which would give shariah courts the power to mete out heavier penalties.

  • Frankly, the opposition do not have a winning strategy taking on this RUU355. The first mistake was to allow RUU355 to represent Islam - its not even Islamic statism. They should never have allowed the debate on Hudud to represent Islamic statism, to allow it is to lose the Islamic reform agenda which is the only way they can win in the long run..

    Hadi's PAS declared that Islam reject secularism and then proceed to be racist against Chinese using DAP as an excuse and its not challenged. Islam reject godlessness and secularism is NOT godlessness. Hadi's over-generalisation which he stands on must be hit again and again and as hard as possible is needed to break Hadi's PAS and their fallacies and slander which is what they stand on.
