MCA today reiterated it will not support PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's bill to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 because it is unconstitutional.

"MCA remains firmly opposed to any bill which it believes to run counter of the spirit and letter of our Federal Constitution.

"As Hadi's bill now stands, we regard it to be in such a position," said MCA president Liow Tiong Lai in a statement today.
