SHAH ALAM, 13 June: The Selangor State Assembly (DNS) Speaker, Hannah Yeon, said that she received the motion from the Barisan Nasional (BN) opposition to review the feasibility of implementing Hudud in the state in honour of the trust bestowed on her to serve all parties.

Hannah said that her views regarding the Hudud motion is not important, but it is more towards a neutral move as the DNS Speaker to receive any suitable motion to be debated, regardless if it is from the State Government or the opposition.

“When I chair the DNS session, I have to be neutral and at that moment, I am no longer a representative of DAP or Pakatan Rakyat (PR).

“I have to be fair regarding the motion (Hudud) submitted,” she said during a press conference at her office today.

Previously, an Assemblyman from Umno, Kamarol Zaki Abdul Malik (Sungai Air Tawar) proposed the motion for a review of the implementation of Hudud in the DNS, however received various negative reactions from friends in BN component parties.

Among these comments, MCA and Gerakan urged for the motion to be withdrawn, claiming that there was no consensus among BN component parties on the implementation of Hudud until now.

The action also received a reaction from the Vice-President of MCA, Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun, who said that she was disappointed and feels that the proposed motion only shows disagreement between BN component parties.

At the same time, the former State Executive Councillor, Ronnie Liu, also reminded the DNS to not get caught up in BN’s game regarding the Hudud issue.

Commenting on that matter, Hannah believes that the opposition will continue to play with politics regardless of any action she takes.

“If I do not accept, Umno will say I am anti-Islam. If I allow it, MCA will say I am playing with the Hudud (issue).

“So, what would you do if you are the Speaker?” she asked.
