PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court here on Thursday declared as unconstitutional a provision in the Selangor syariah law which makes it an offence to engage in unnatural sex.
A nine-member bench led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat held that Section 28 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995 relates to matters that fall under the Federal Constitution’s Ninth Schedule Federal list, under Parliament’s power to enact laws.
She said Section 28 contravened the State List in the Ninth Schedule of the Federal Constitution, which stipulated that state legislatures have no power to make law on matters that were included in the Federal List. She said the primary power to enact criminal law lies with Parliament.

PUTRAJAYA: A woman who was born out of wedlock to a Muslim father and a Buddhist mother today won her appeal in the Federal Court to be declared a non-Muslim.
Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, chairing a nine-member bench, delivered the 7-2 majority decision through Zoom in allowing Rosliza Ibrahim’s appeal and granted the declarations sought by her.
She held that Rosliza is not a person professing Islam because there is no proof that she is a Muslim by original faith.
Justice Tengku Maimun said there was also no proof that Rosliza’s mother professed Islam at the time of Rosliza’s birth as she considered herself a Buddhist in her written application for a new identity card in 1995 and in her statutory declaration in 2008.

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court ruled in favour of house buyers concerning the calculation of liquidated ascertained damages (LAD) to be paid by housing developers in late delivery of vacant possession of their units.
A five-member bench led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, in a unanimous decision on Tuesday, ruled that the LAD payable by housing developers to purchasers for the late delivery of vacant possession of units in a housing project must begin from the date of payment of booking fees and not from the date of the sale and purchase agreement.
Justice Tengku Maimun said the court would not countenance the bypassing of statutory safeguards meant to protect the purchasers.
