"Implementation Of Hudud In Kelantan Will Create Two Separate Criminal Legal Systems In The Country, One For Muslims And One For The Non-Muslims."
"Implementation of hudud in Kelantan will create two separate criminal legal systems in the country, one for Muslims and one for the non-Muslims." “This will run foul of Article 8 (1) of the Federal constitution which guarantees that all persons are equal before the law and entitled to equal protection of the law,” he said in a statement.

Palanivel said in a multi-cultural and multi-religious Malaysia, two separate legal systems will further drive its citizens apart. He said that two separate legal systems will also produce conflict over jurisdiction and punishment.
"MIC respects Islam and recognises it as the religion of the federation. (However) two separate legal systems will inevitably, produce conflict over jurisdiction and punishment. "This is because the hudud bill runs counter to the letter and spirit of our Federal Constitution," said Palanivel.

“If that happens, then time has come for us to discuss our position in BN,” Wee told a forum on hudud here. “If we don’t have a consensus anymore, then why should we stay in the same platform?”
