KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur police chief Allaudeen Abdul Majid has warned the public to not politicise the Federal Court ruling on the case brought by lawyer Nik Elin Zurina Nik Abdul Rashid, who challenged 18 provisions in Kelantan’s Syariah Criminal Code (I) Enactment 2019.
“I would like to advise the public to not politicise this issue. This is a court matter, so let’s not make it political,” he told reporters during the disposal of confiscated items at the Alam Damai police station in Cheras here today.
Allaudeen said police received three reports and subsequently opened three investigation papers, but did not provide further details on the nature of the reports.
However, he said police will not make any arrests until the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) conclude their own investigations into the matter.
He said one police investigation paper had been handed over to the deputy public prosecutor for further action.
“The two other reports are still being investigated. We will complete them as soon as possible and hand them over to the deputy public prosecutor,” he said.
Last Saturday, Nik Elin confirmed receiving several death threats following her legal challenge.
On Friday, the Federal Court struck down 16 provisions in the enactment on the grounds that they violated the Federal Constitution.
The nine-member panel led by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat made the ruling after allowing a petition by Nik Elin and her daughter, Tengku Yasmin Nastasha Tengku Abdul Rahman, to challenge 18 provisions in the enactment. - FMT
