Hudud: PAS will motion another private member's Bill - Nik Mohamad Abduh

PAS will motion for another private member's Bill on hudud if it fails to be debated in the Parliament today, the party's Youth leader Nik Mohamad Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz said.

He said it is then up to the Speaker to decide on whether the Bill can be debated.

"We in the party will try to work on it again. This is the fourth attempt. And today is the last day of Parliament session so we are not sure if Speaker will allow it to be debated," he told reporters at Parliament lobby today.

"We see first. If we fail, we will try again," he said.

PAS’s proposal to amend the Federal Constitution to enable the implementation of hudud in Kelantan has reappeared in the Parliament order paper today.

This is the third time the proposal appeared in Parliament order paper, the first being in April and again in June last year.

The private member's bill, will be moved by PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and it is listed as the 15th individual motion for the day.

The Syariah Criminal Code II 1993, better known as the hudud, qisas and takzir laws, was not implemented for more than 20 years due to legal constraints.

Besides the private Bill, the Kelantan government had also formed a state-level technical committee over a year ago and sent six representatives to sit on the national-level technical committee to study the implementation of hudud.
