PAS' memorandum on the Islamic state will be submitted to the government soon and will call for, among others, constitutional amendments to give Islamic law its rightful position as well as affirmative actions regardless of race and religion.

PAS president Fadzil Mohd Noor said today the memorandum was being finalised and will likely be made public before the next general election.

He added that this will allow them to garner feedback from people of various cultures and beliefs.

"I am positive that PAS will be requested to realise this vision and idealism once the public has been introduced to this memorandum," he told some 2,500 delegates and observers at the opening of the party's 48th annual general assembly or mukatamar in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

Fadzil said the memorandum was based on seven major principles  representatives from Indonesia's Partai Persatuan Pembangunan; and Barisan Alternatif leaders, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and Dr Syed Husin Ali.
