Court’s verdict nothing to do with Islamic doctrine, says lawyer Nik Elin
The Federal Court's verdict on Friday (Feb 9) has nothing to do with the doctrine of Islam but rather it is about harmonising the laws between both Shariah and civil courts, says lawyer Nik Elin Zurina Nik Abdul Rashid.
She also said that she was hopeful that state assemblies would be more careful when drafting state legislations following the decision made.
In 2023, Nik Elin and her daughter Tengku Yasmin Nastasha Tengku Abdul Rahman filed a constitutional challenge against 18 provisions under Kelantan’s syariah criminal enactment.

00:24 Saya rasa semua bersetuju memang ada constitutional breach, okay.
00:30 Tapi ia menegakkan juga bahwa federal constitution adalah supreme dan demi untuk kebaikan Malaysia juga.
00:42 Tiada apa-apa kena-mengena dengan doctrine Islam.
00:46 Itu pun mahkamah telah memutuskan.
00:49 Okay, ia hanya mengenai kompetensi DUN, the State Legislative Assembly, sahaja.
00:58 Jadi saya buat ini bukan untuk diri saya, ya.
01:01 Saya buat ini untuk semua sebenarnya.
01:05 Dan Alhamdulillah lah setelah dikutuk, dikeji, dilaknat semua itu, Alhamdulillah.
01:14 So Alhamdulillah, saya bersyukur banyak-banyak.
01:18 [Indistinct chatter]
01:22 InsyaAllah tak ada lah, kot.
01:24 I mean, saya rasa selepas pada ini, DUN-DUN akan menggubal undang-undang yang lebih,
01:34 I think they'll be more careful in drafting the legislations.
01:39 And untuk harmonikan mahkamah syarikat, biar Yasmin lah cakap.
01:45 Yasmin? Yasmin? Okay.
01:48 So...

02:02 I think that's all.
02:04 Okay. Alright. Terima kasih.
02:07 [Indistinct chatter]
02:10 No, saya peguam. Okay?
02:13 Sebagai peguam, kami officers of the court. Alright?
02:16 Dan saya percaya bahwa memang tugas kita sebagai pengamal undang-undang,
02:22 untuk menegakkan... no, that's not the word.
02:28 Untuk protect and defend. What's protect and defend again?
02:32 Mempertahankan kedaulatan undang-undang.
02:37 Okay?
02:38 So terima kasih banyak-banyak.
02:40 Alhamdulillah, saya bersyukur sangat-sangat.

02:46 Saya balik Kelantan, saya tak ada kena kecaman pun.
02:49 Semuanya menyokong saya. Alhamdulillah.
02:51 Jadi, kalau yang kata itu saya rasa itu adalah manipulasi faktor lah.
03:00 Sebab saya balik Pertubaruan, tak ada masalah pun.
03:02 Saya nak balik punggung depan.
03:04 Alright. Terima kasih.
