After PJ MP sentenced for ‘insulting’ Shariah judiciary, fellow lawmakers say judges not immune from criticism

KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 — A group of MPs said today they are concerned by the Shariah court sentencing Petaling Jaya MP Maria Chin Abdullah to seven days of jail for allegedly insulting the Shariah judicial system.

“Especially a person like Maria who has public duties as a member of Parliament. Her comments were not scurrilous or malicious. They were clearly done in good faith with the view that the Shariah legal system and other bodies would address them. They said Maria’s sentencing which was done in her absence is unlawful, as it contradicts existing legal provisions on sentencing.

She had released a statement on September 5, 2019, pointing out that Muslim women in Malaysia are still being discriminated against under the Shariah judicial system here.
