MCCBCHST urges Parliament to review constitutionality of Mufti BillThe MCCBCHST also noted past instances where non-Muslim rights were affected, including:--Restrictions on the sale of alcohol and gambling activities in certain states.The bill’s provisions, such as immunity from lawsuits for the Mufti and Fatwa Committee acting in good faith, further amplify concerns. This could leave non- Muslims without legal recourse, if adversely affected by a fatwa.
The MCCBCHST has appealed to lawmakers to uphold their oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.” It urged a re-evaluation of the bill, emphasising that its provisions risk undermining Malaysia's constitutional framework and the rights of all citizens. “The Mufti Bill would fundamentally alter the balance of power and infringe upon the basic structure of the Constitution, which vests legislative power solely in Parliament,” the statement concluded.
The council hopes that the government will reconsider the bill considering its far-reaching implications, advocating for inclusive governance that respects Malaysia’s multireligious and multicultural identity.
