00:02 The government has a lot of power, but land is not a problem.
00:07 It is a matter of state power.
00:08 It is a matter of state religion.
00:11 So there is a matter of each government's power.
00:13 Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says the division of powers
00:19 between Malaysia's federal and state governments is often misunderstood,
00:23 especially their respective jurisdictions over land and religion.
00:28 His comments come after a nine-judge panel ruled that the Kelantan Legislative Assembly
00:34 had no power to pass 16 provisions in its syariah enactment
00:38 because the offences in question were already covered under federal law.
00:43 While visiting Melaka, Anwar also called the rally outside the federal court today dangerous
00:50 and said the situation was being politicized by the opposition.
00:55 He said the opposition wanted to play up religious sentiments
00:59 simply to portray the unity government as opposing Islam,
01:02 even though the application by the two women was filed when Perikatan Nasional was in power.
01:08 Earlier today, more than 1,000 people gathered outside the Palace of Justice to protest the decision.
01:15 In 2022, Nick Ellen Zurina and her daughter, Tunku Yasmin Nastasha Tunku Abdul Rahman,
01:23 filed a constitutional challenge to the Kelantan Assembly's authority to pass the syariah enactment.
01:29 Amirah Huda, FMT News.
