On Tuesday, Dr Mohamed Fadzli had said the Bill was expected to be passed today, with the process proceeding smoothly, including securing the Opposition Leader's support.
On Feb 9, 2024, the Federal Court had struck down 16 provisions in the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code Enactment 2019 after ruling that the state legislature had enacted laws on matters that fell within Parliament's jurisdiction.
