Pakatan stalemate after talks on hudud

KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Rakyat has failed to reach a consensus on hudud despite a three-hour meeting.

Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said they respected the Syariah criminal enactment drawn in 1993 in Kelantan and in 2003 in Terengganu before Pakatan was formed.

We have agreed to respect the differences of opinions in line with democratic principles, he said after the Pakatan leadership meeting here last night.

Among those present were PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, DAP chairman Karpal Singh, PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang.

Asked if Pakatan agreed to the implementation of hudud laws in Kelantan and Terengganu, Anwar said they would refer to their common policy framework.

Anwar said Pakatan leaders had agreed to abide by the Federal Constitution and the Buku Jingga.

Hudud laws cannot be implemented without amending the Federal Constitution, he said.

And DAPs objection must also be respected, he added.

The issue erupted after PAS spiritual adviser Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said that the party hoped to implement hudud laws in Kelantan.
