KUCHING: Assistant Minister of Housing Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said the people should not let a few MPs or assemblymen determine their fate.

In giving his opinions on the hudud law issue, he said the Kelantan and federal government ought to determine if the law would be well accepted or not by the people first.

“If they wanted to change the current law, they should consider doing a referendum because there is a need to see if it will be well accepted or not. If it can’t, then we should stick to the current legal system,” he told reporters here yesterday.

Abdul Karim said there was no need to change the legal system in the country as it was still relevant and good.

Earlier, Abdul Karim received a courtesy call from representatives from Malaysian Liquified Natural Gas (MLNG) and Kuching Division Journalist Association (KDJA) at his office in Wisma Sultan Tengah here.

KDJA wanted to invite Abdul Karim to be the guest-of-honour of the MLNG-KDJA Sports Day on June 13.

Present at the courtesy call were MLNG representative Johannes Ridu, KDJA president Sulok Tawie and KDJA committee members.
