Parts of civil laws in this country were indirectly based on Christian principles of morality and Muslims in Malaysia have not complained about these, a lawyer contended.
Lawyer Aidil Khalid said that civil laws in Malaysia, particularly the Penal Code, were laws imported from India, which in turn were adopted from the British legal system.
"In turn, some (of these laws) are based on the principles of morality from Christian principles.
"Muslims in this country have been subjected to the civil laws, we do not complain," Aidil said in a debate at Petaling Jaya last night about the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 (Act 355) proposed amendments.
"What I mean is that we (Muslims) never complained that the laws are based on a religion that is not ours," he explained further when the crowd of over 100 people jeered at his earlier statement.
He said Act 355 amendments only seek to legislate the principles of morality of the Islamic religion.
"And we do not even want to impose it on the non-Muslims. It is only for Muslims," he added.
