PERSIDANGAN KOMUNITI SYARIAH JABATAN PEGUAM NEGARA 2023

 Ke Arah Memantapkan Penguatkuasaan dan Pendakwaan Jenayah Syariah

Tarikh              :  20 hingga 22 Jun 2023  
Tempat            :  Hotel Lexis, Port Dickson 

1. Penghinaan terhadap Royal, Race, Religion (3R) berlaku secara nyata dan secara maya, termasuk dalam media sosial. Kesalahan semakin berleluasa dikhuatiri sekiranya tidak dibendung, rakyat akan hilang kepercayaan kepada undang-undang dan penguatkuasaan dalam negara.

 

 2. Peruntukan undang-undang di dalam Akta 593 (Prosedur Jenayah), Akta 574 (Penal Code), Akta 588 (AKMM) tidak terdapat dalam Akta 561 (Keterangan Syariah WP) dan Akta 559 (Kesalahan Jenayah Syariah WP) dan lain-lain peruntukan enakmen negeri.

 

3. Selain isu tiada peruntukan untuk penguatkuasaan kesalahan multimedia di Mahkamah Syariah, isu bidangkuasa kewilayahan (wilayatul qadha’) dalam hukum syara’ juga perlu ditangani. Bidangkuasa Hakim Syarie adalah bersifat territorial dan tidak boleh melampaui pentauliahan oleh Ketua Agama negeri masing-masing.
