GEORGE TOWN: DAP will not agree with the implementation of hudud law even if the opposition obtains two-thirds majority in the 13th general election.
Party national chairman Karpal Singh said the country’s consitution was the highest law and as such, state legislations should be aligned with the constitution and any law inconsistent with it would be declared as void.
“DAP would not agree to any amendment to the constitution for the enactment of hudud law, including the proposal made by PAS in the Kelantan and Terengganu state assemblies in 1993 as it was not in line with the constitution,” he said, here, yesterday.
Karpal was asked to comment on the statement by Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat on Saturday that the hudud law would only be implemented in the country should the opposition grouping win the coming general election.
He said the implementation of hudud would cause people to lose confidence and support for Pakatan Rakyat as not every citizen agreed with PAS’ idea. — Bernama
