Responding to MCA’s religious harmony bureau chief Ti Lian Ker, Perkasa Youth said MCA has "no right" to dispute anything on syariah law.
"Don’t try to stoke anger among Muslims and challenge syariah law in this country. Don’t be insulting for the sake of garnering support…
"We will make sure that no individual will take Islam and Malay sensitivities lightly. Remember that!
"The
sultan is the head of Islam, and this too is stated in the federal
constitution. Don’t challenge that!" Perkasa Youth chief Irwan Fahmi
Idris said in a statement.He also accused Ti (left) of making such statements to "seek sympathy" after MCA failed to get votes from the Chinese community.
Ti yesterday raised concern over the the government’s proposal to form a Federal Syariah Court, which is higher than the civil Court of Appeal.
He said that this contravenes Articles 4(1) and 74(3) of the federal constitution, with the former stating that the constitution is the highest law of the land.
He said that this could lead to problems, for example in custody disputes when one of parents converts to Islam.
Ti said it is wrong to see "God’s law" as greater than secular law as human beings cannot act for God.
