Summary
This Bayan Linnas welcomes and supports the establishment of the JKMMS and regards it as timely. The committee is coordinated by JAKIM and has six clusters, including harmonisation of civil and syariah law, amendments to Act 355 and the management of the Syariah Courts. The support comes with the hope that members act sincerely for the sake of Allah, base decisions on the texts of the Shariah and its objectives, and decide matters through consultation (syura).
