Summary
The Selangor Syara' Legal Consultative Committee (Fatwa) held that enforcement of Section 292 of the Penal Code and Section 7 of the Printing Presses Act should be strengthened. This view was given because obscene publications were found to be sold widely. The decision was made at meeting No. 5/2001 on 15 November 2001.
