Nadia Ahmad Samdin on Administration of Muslim Law (Amendment) Bill
The Administration of Muslim Law (Amendment) Bill will have a positive impact on existing hearing processes, especially in the event that certain parties are unable to meet physically. However, it is important to ensure that each party can give statements and get fair and full representation that is free from any threat or intimidation, said MP Nadia Ahmad Samdin. Speaking in Parliament on Monday (Feb 14), she highlighted her concern about people who are not ready to go digital. She wanted to know how the Syariah Court will ensure "equitable access to justice" for these parties. She also sought clarifications on the Bill.
