I’m sure that IKIM, Syariah Judiciary Department, and AG can focus on better things, like guidelines on illegal body snatching, dubious conversion, taking over assets and estate of the deceased, insensitivities of the body snatchers etc. Instead, they want to be “fair” and find a way to charge the non-muslim partner in court! » Read more: Fancy punishment for khalwat?

I wish we can sit down and talk to them and think openly what’s best for the country. That’s the bottom line.

No matter how it is looked at, the land and money is still coming from one source – the developer.
