10:41Now PlayingMalaysia's highest court made a groundbreaking ruling on February 9th, declaring 16 Islamic laws in Kelantan state unconstitutional, in a move that has sent shockwaves through the country's legal and religious communities. This decision, notably on laws related to sodomy, incest, and gambling, underscores a significant legal boundary between state-enacted Sharia law and the federal legislative powers. Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat emphasized that "the essence of those provisions are matters under the federal list, which only parliament has the power to make," highlighting the jurisdictional overreach of the state's Sharia criminal code. The ruling not only challenges the legislative competence of the Kelantan state governed by the Islamist party PAS but also sets a precedent that may influence the interpretation and enforcement of Sharia law across Malaysia. Amidst fears of undermining the position of Islam in Malaysia and tight security due to protests, the court maintained that the judgment was a matter of legislative power rather than a challenge to Islam's role in the nation, indicating an attempt to balance religious law with federal authority.
