A partial implementation of hudud was possible without a two-thirds majority in Parliament, says Malaysia Syarie Lawyers Association presiden Musa Awang.
Speaking at a forum on 'Hudud in Malaysia: Can we? Should we?' organised by the MCA Youth legal bureau at MCA headquarters in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, he said this was because certain offences such as adultery and drinking alcohol already exist in the Islamic family law but their punishment is capped at up to three years imprisonment, RM5,000 fine or six strokes of the rotan under the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965.
As such, he said, amending the punishment cap, such as increasing the whipping up to 100 strokes to conform with hudud, is one way of partial implementation.
