SHAH ALAM: The Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) and Islamic religious authorities in the state will work with the police to ensure that investigations into the case involving a man who was alleged to have attempted to commit unnatural sex, will be continued according to provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code.
Mais chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said the Federal Court’s decision on the matter could not be seen as a form of recognition of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.
“This is because committing sexual intercourse against the order of nature is still a very serious offence that goes against the teachings of Islam, morality and norms of Malaysian society, as mentioned by Allah in Surah al-Syu’ara verses 165 and 166,” he said in a statement today.

Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Azahar Mohamed said the discrimination would be wrong as every person must enjoy equal protection of the law under Article 8(1) of the Federal Constitution.

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.
