Among other issues plaguing the nation, Catholics nationwide yesterday prayed to uphold a single system of law in the country, one that is in compliance with the federal constitution.

While hudud was not mentioned, the prayer comes at a time when PAS and the ruling government is seen to be keen to implement their interpretation of the Islamic penal code, sparking fears of creating a multi-track legal system or disenfranchising non-Muslims.

They were also told to reject corruption in whatever form and pray for more transparency and accountability in the country's financial management.
