'No private member's bill on hudud this sitting'
It is highly unlikely a private member's bill for hudud law implementation in Kelantan will be tabled during the current Parliament session which lasts for three more weeks.
"The programme for this sitting is full," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Shahidan Kassim told reporters at Parliament today.
"We have to see the list (of bills). In the existing list, there is none," he said.
Meanwhile, DAP is adamant that PAS' private member's bill in Parliament to implement hudud law in Kelantan, if tabled, would require a two-third majority in the lower house to pass.
PAS previously has said that the bill only needed a simple majority to pass with PAS' Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad and Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Nik Amar Abdullah both attesting to this.

But DAP National Organising Secretary Anthony Loke Siew ( right ) Fook told reporters at the Parliament lobby today that hudud implementation in Kelantan would still require a constitutional amendment and thus, a two-thirds majority in Parliament.
"They will definitely not get the support of DAP and they will not get a two-thirds majority," Loke said.
By Loke's claim, even with full support from all 88 Umno MPs, PAS will not be able to have the bill passed should it be allowed to enter debate.
