Ms Hasyimah told CNA that as Malaysia has a Muslim majority, it was logical that laws for Muslims be given priority over other laws.
She also wants Malaysia to use Syariah laws instead of the common law system being used today
“As a Muslim, you have laws in your religion that God told you to follow but your country asks you to follow (their) laws, some which are based on Western sources (and) differ from your religion. Wouldn’t you feel angry and sad?” she said, adding that Islam covers all aspects of life
She believes Syariah laws are the best set of laws that would guarantee the wellbeing of both Muslims and non-Muslims alike
