HALANGAN-HALANGAN PELAKSANAAN UNDANG-UNDANG JENAYAH ISLAM DI DALAM PERLEMBAGAAN MALAYSIA

Abstract

This essays attempts to highlight some of what is seen as obstacles presented
by the constitutional framework in Malaysia that makes the implementation
of full-fledged Islamic laws in the country either difficult or
impossible. The article argues that it is not something that is inherent in
the framework and that it is not insurmountable. The article also argues
that part of the so-called obstacles are actually political and thus requires
political will to solve. Thus far there have been many instances whereby
the constitution has been set aside or amended to make what is desired by
the powers that be work; and this strengthens the thesis argued by the
author.
