Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said the state government will explore the addition of another court level after the lower shariah court, the shariah high court and the shariah appeal court.
Despite the Federal Court striking out 16 provisions from Kelantan’s shariah criminal code, other states may still enforce similar rules unless they are legally challenged.
The resignation of several senior officers of the Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT), the policy on aid for flood victims and the government's efforts to protect state shariah laws are among the focus of today's Dewan Rakyat session.
The final report from the engagement session to amend the RUU355 Bill will be brought to the cabinet and is expected to be tabled in Parliament this year, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Mohd Na'im Mokhtar.
