The Deputy Prime Minister said as a multi-racial and multi-religious country, Malaysia was not ready to introduce hudud laws as brought up by PAS leaders.
"Our stand is that in Malaysia, we cannot implement it in the present situation. I do not think in the present condition, it is suitable for implementation. We did not question the need to implement hudud law," he told a news conference after chairing a Cabinet Committee on Supply and Prices meeting here Thursday.
Muhyiddin said hudud laws could only be implemented when the situation was really conducive.
He said explanation and understanding of theses laws needed to be extended to cover all the people in the country so that they truly understood them. [The Star Online] Read more [via Jihad Watch]
