The Sabah State Legislative Assembly today passed a bill on amendments to the Shariah Criminal Offences Enactment 1995 which will come into force on Sept 9 this year.

Aidi, when tabling the bill, said amendments to the Shariah Criminal Offences Enactment were intended to insert the definitions of Islam and Ahli Sunnah Waljamaah, and also to include whipping as a punishment for those found guilty of spreading and/or performing any acts that are against the true teachings of Islam.

Aidi said the spread of extremist and deviant Islamic teachings was one of the reasons for the amendments.
