DAP's "naughtiness" has strengthened PAS enough for them to push for their proposed amendments to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 (Act 355), said MIC treasurer-general S Vell Paari.
"Due to PAS' success in the last general election by virtue of being supported by DAP, PAS is now a major component to the Selangor state government and also still a member of the opposition bloc in this country.
"This strength has allowed PAS to submit their amendment to Act 355 with respect to the syariah courts," Vell Paari said in a statement today.
