00:00 As we all know, on 9 February 2024, the Supreme Court, through the decision of the 8th Senate,
00:12 has ruled that 16 criminal offences in the 1st Criminal Code of the United Kingdom
00:24 are invalid and not justified on the grounds that the United Kingdom has violated the Law of Related Offences,
00:34 which does not have the power to enforce it.
00:39 However, in the parties, the sections are related to the law under the Constitution,
00:47 which on the grounds that the Parliament has the power to enforce.
00:54 The Supreme Court, in its decision, has decided that the principle of the law that is used by the expert
01:05 in solving this issue is clear and clear.
01:13 In determining whether a law made by the Parliament or the body of the country
01:22 is valid or not, including within the limits of the powers of the laws,
01:29 the test used is by looking at the "Biff and Substance"
01:36 or in other words, the principle of the law that is used.
01:44 If in terms of the principle of the law, the laws made by the Parliament
01:51 are included in the Constitution, then the Parliament does not have the power to enforce the law.
02:02 This can be seen in the trial of 1, 2, the Ministry of Justice and the 9th Procedural Court
02:12 which determined that the body of the country has the power to enforce the laws
02:19 for the violation and punishment of the offences committed by people who do not follow the Islamic religion.
02:27 In the eyes of the religious order, except in terms of the law that is included in the Constitution
02:35 which has the power to enforce the law, it is the Parliament.
02:40 The various political parties, the experts, the academics and the public
02:50 have made various statements and interpretations of the decision of the case.
02:57 There are statements that provide a real explanation of the decision of the case.
03:05 However, there are also basic statements to the political interests of certain parties
03:16 to raise a sense of concern for the Muslims in this country.
03:23 Some have even used the decision of the Constitutional Court as a point of black fire
03:34 to fight against the crimes of Islam in this country.
03:38 They are not willing to participate in this case.
03:46 In their opinion, all parties must wait for the decision of the Constitutional Court
03:54 and need to wait for the Constitutional Court as the main body of the country
04:04 and must always be supported by the Malaysian people.
04:09 In this issue, what is more important is our efforts to find a way to address all the problems
04:22 arising from the illegal work of the government to expand the communication in the country
04:29 to make the law in the framework established by the Constitutional Court.
04:38 These efforts include finding a way and suggesting changes to the Constitutional Court
04:51 and/or the Constitutional Court related to the obligation of the power of the country's government
04:58 to change the law in the framework of Sharia
05:01 is clearly included in the Constitutional Court without any additional compensation.
05:10 It is clear that they have not taken the time to study the issue of the people's competition for the country's constitutional rights
05:20 to change the Islamic law established by the Constitutional Court during the MPR election
05:29 on August 28, 2023.
05:34 They are studying the issue that arises.
05:40 It is also clear that there are four main issues that have been identified by the special committee to be considered
05:53 a) to identify the issues related to the opposition to the use of the country to change the Islamic law
06:04 in the framework of the Sharia Constitution as stipulated under Article 1, Article 2, Article 3 of the Constitution
06:17 b) to identify the issues related to the emergency, including the analysis of the existing laws
06:33 c) to study the decisions of the highest court in detail on the issue
06:42 d) to make a statement on the situation in the region and to better communicate the issue of competition
06:54 to the use of the country to change the Islamic law in the framework of the Sharia Constitution
07:02 in the framework of the Sharia Constitution.
07:12 This process has been delayed for many years.
07:19 It is necessary to provide a number of proposals to the MPI and then to the other parties to refine and improve
07:33 the blue paper and to advise all parties, including other members of the committee, to help the special committee by providing proposals that are in line with the vertical social policy
07:51 to facilitate the special committee to carry out their duties.
08:04 This is a process that requires the special committee to be involved, but I believe that with the experience and qualifications of the special committee members,
08:22 it will be possible to achieve the benefits of all parties to the Islamic law in the country.
08:35 Meanwhile, I urge all parties to be calm and not to be busy with the mess while waiting for the proposal to be approved.
08:46 Thank you.
