PETALING JAYA: Pro-moderation advocate Mohamed Tawfik Ismail has filed yet another legal paper to support his suit seeking to declare PAS’ Private Member’s Bill as unconstitutional. The Bill was finally tabled by Abdul Hadi last Thursday. Last Friday, Tawfik, 66, had filed a suit seeking to declare PAS’ Private Member’s Bill as unconstitutional and that it flouted Parliament procedures. As such he is also seeking a declaration that the motion to table the Bill was equally flawed. The Bill was first tabled by Abdul Hadi last May, seeking to grant the Syariah court powers to impose stiffer penalties on all crimes except those with the death sentence.
