Selangor BN assemblymen withdraw from tabling motion on Hudud, saying it's PAS' baby

All Selangor Barisan Nasional (BN) assemblymen today agreed to withdraw from tabling a motion at the upcoming state assembly sitting which asks the Selangor government to study the possibility of implementing hudud, the Islamic penal code.

Opposition leader in the state assembly, Datuk Mohd Shamsudin Lias said their withdrawal was to let the 15 PAS assemblymen to table the motion themselves as implementing hudud was in PAS' agenda.

He said the motion was initially proposed by BN assemblyman for Sungai Air Tawar, Kamarol Zaki Abdul Malik.

"After further discussion with all the state assemblymen including from Pakatan Rakyat, we agreed to withdraw from tabling the motion at the state assembly sitting next week.

"Actually, the motion we wished to propose was not for tabling a bill to implement hudud in the state, but we just wanted to know whether the state government was prepared to implement hudud," he told reporters, here.
