`worked up’

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian
Muslim Consumer Association (PPIM) today called on non-Muslims in the country
to not easily get “worked up” on the move by PAS to implement hudud
laws in Kelantan.
Its chief activist
Datuk Nadzim Johan said all parties should sit together to discuss the issue in
a mature manner to prevent any misunderstanding on the main purpose of the
move.
“I do not see
any benefit in we quarrelling among ourselves because it will only cause the
country to be split. It (hudud) has not even been implemented yet, we do not
know yet what it effect will be on society.
“All quarters
must keep an open mind on this (hudud) so that it can be resolved in an
acceptable way,” he told a press conference here today.
PAS through its MPs
plans to move a Private Members Bill in Parliament to seek federal approval to
implement the Islamic laws in Kelantan.
However, its partners in the Pakatan Rakyat notably the DAP and various
non-Muslim quarters and parties, including MCA and Gerakan, component parties
of the Barisan Nasional, which is in power at the Federal level, have objected
to the move. – Bernama
