PM lauds ruler's decree, says time is right to lower political heat

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who expressed regret that certain parties are politicising the recent Federal Court’s decision, welcomed Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah’s decree for all quarters to respect the decision and the Federal Constitution.

Anwar was referring to the apex court ruling nullifying 16 provisions of the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code Enactment, which he assured does not belittle the function of the Syariah Court.
