She said these are under seven clusters being reviewed by the Prime Minister’s Office, namely laws, “dakwah” or Islamic propagation, the management of mosques, haj and halal food, socio-economic issues and education.

“What has been said by Rantau Panjang, it is under our blueprint,” she said, responding to Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff (PAS-Rantau Panjang) who said there appeared to be more Muslims who do not follow shariah laws.

Siti Zailah said this included ignoring their prayers, wearing revealing clothing, committing adultery and consuming liquor. She also claimed there were cases of apostasy or murtad.

She had also asked for updates on the amendments to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, known as RUU 355, a private member’s bill brought by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang in a bid to give shariah courts wider powers.

Fuziah said the amendments would be reviewed by those under the law cluster who would carry out research on the matter.

“There are models and intervention programmes at each of the cluster levels,” she said, adding that this would include the review of RUU 355.

Siti Zailah earlier asked for assurance that the Rahmatan Lil Alamin policy, part of the new policy of the country’s Islamic administration, would increase the dignity of Islamic laws and defend the rights of Muslims.

Fuziah said the policy is aimed at creating a country administered with integrity and good governance over ethnic relations, the environment and welfare, towards a prosperous economy.

“The aspirations in this blueprint are towards shared prosperity with sustainable goals.

“It will follow the constitution and it will not affect the dignity of Islam,” she added.

In September, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Mujahid Yusof Rawa said the working paper on the concept was at the final drafting stage, following which it would be presented to the Cabinet. The paper has since been approved.
