Lawyer Hisham Fauzi said with PAS ministers now part of the Perikatan Nasional government, it is now more conducive for the Islamist party to push for amendments to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, or Act 355, which will allow the partial implementation of hudud.

Hisham, who is the Kelantan Law and Human Rights Organisation chairperson, said Kelantan and Terengganu, which have Syariah criminal code enactments but have not been able to implement them, are now also no longer opposition states.
