All Malaysians must defend our countrys system of a parliamentary democracy against hudud laws

All Malaysians must defend our countrys system of a government based on a parliamentary democracy and not allow Malaysia to turn into an Islamic state, because in such a case, women will be the biggest losers a reduction on their status and rights.

International news coverage of a woman in Saudi Arabia sentenced to 10 lashings for driving as women there are prohibited from driving serves as a warning to womenfolk in Malaysia.

History has revealed that Islamic states are incompatible with womens progress. Women in Islamic state countries like Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan are subjected to oppression, inequality and uncivilised treatment far more serious than cases in countries governed by civil law.

If hudud law becomes part of our Federal Constitution, thereby becoming the highest law of the land, this runs counter democracy as achieved in a secular state. Countries which adopt hudud law enforces such law unto both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

In such cases, the best evidence can be found among non-Muslim foreign women who visit or live there are compelled to wear headscarves and forbidden to drive.

Pakatan Rakyat legislators must make known their positions and stand up for parliamentary democracy instead of playing word games to keep up the relationship based on ambiguity and evasiveness.
