PAS splinter party Amanah believes the best place to discuss the planned amendments to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act (Act 355) is the Parliament.

Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub said in a statement today the party agreed with efforts to strengthen the syariah court and even has its own suggestions, which it would put forward in Parliament.

His comments come two days after PAS announced that it would be holding a rally in support of Act 355, on Feb 18.

The Islamist party's information chief Nasruddin Hasan said Amanah and other political parties would also be invited to join the rally, planned to be held at Dataran Merdeka.
