00:04Judgment by the Federal Court
00:06What happens after some of the provisions of the law become unconstitutional?
00:09The Kelantan state government is now doing more than just patching things up.
00:12Instead, they directly introduced a new law on Islamic crimes.
00:16Moreover, the punishment for some of the crimes this time
00:19It's even heavier than before.
00:21Kelantan State Assembly to hold a by-session meeting today
00:23The Kelantan Islamic Criminal Law 2026 has been formally proposed.
00:27Preparing to replace the existing 2019 law
00:32So what about this new bill?
00:33There are nine parts in total.
00:3562 articles and one supplementary table
00:37One of the most obvious changes
00:39Border punishment was directly listed as the first-line punishment for serious crimes.
00:43So what specific behaviors will be classified as felonies?
00:47The new bill directly targets three core issues.
00:50First betrayal of faith
00:52Including attempts to secede from Islam
00:54Or eliminate the Islamic faith from children.
00:57What about the second one?
00:58It is contrary to Islam
00:59Regulations on Sexual Morality and Lifestyle
01:02Including your drinking.
01:03Gambling
01:04Extramarital sex and unmarried pregnancy, etc.
01:06Both are serious crimes.
01:08The new bill also specifically expands...
01:10Punishment for sexual acts involving physical contact
01:13Any inappropriate intimate contact
01:15All within the scope of being dealt with
01:17Thirdly?
01:18That would be neglecting religious obligations.
01:20The new bill also adds provisions
01:22This will directly target Muslims who do not observe the five daily prayers.
01:27So why did Jilandan suddenly decide to create such a complete new system of Islam?
01:31What about the crime of Lan?
01:33This is actually not the first time Kelantan has introduced this set of laws.
01:37The original 2019 Kelantan Islamic Criminal Code
01:40Passed in 2019 and officially came into effect in 2021.
01:44However, by 2022
01:46Kelantan lawyer Nie Yiling and his daughter Lu Bing challenged the Federal Court
01:51This set of laws
01:52What do you think?
01:53Many crimes enacted by the state legislature
01:55In fact, it has long surpassed the Federal Constitution.
01:57Granting legislative powers to state governments
01:59The case finally reached a crucial verdict on February 9, 2024.
02:04The federal court ultimately ruled by an 8-1 majority.
02:08The law declared all 16 articles of the old law unconstitutional and invalid.
02:13The reason is that these crimes fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government.
02:17The state legislature does not have the authority to make such decisions.
02:20Even so
02:21The Kelantan state government did not choose to give up.
02:24Instead, they brought in experts in civil and Islamic law.
02:27Constitutional experts, scholars, and Islamic judicial officials
02:30Re-examine and draft new legislation
02:33Only today did they finally bring out this set of even harsher punishments again.
02:38New legislation for 2026
02:40Kelantan Deputy Chief Minister Muhammad Fadli
02:42This was emphasized during the commission discussion today.
02:44This new bill is based on the federal constitution.
02:47The state's authority to formulate [the relevant regulations]
02:50It refers to crimes of a purely religious nature.
02:53Including the sanctity of Islam and its institutions
02:58and Islamic moral norms
03:00He said the purpose of the new bill is to require Muslims to comply with the provisions of Islamic law.
03:05Religious obligations
03:06The bill has completed its second reading and debate today.
03:09The Kelantan State Legislative Assembly is expected to hold a summary meeting tomorrow.
03:12And formally seek to pass
