The implementation of hudud would only bring great human rights disaster in Malaysia.
Speaking to The Mole political scientist Dr Wong Chin Huat said it is hard to imagine how hudud is going to be implemented in Malaysia apart from its disastrous effect.
“I don’t think Malaysians can handle that (punishment) well. Be it for Muslims or non-Muslims, we are not that selfish. Compassion among us goes beyond religions.”
Wong who is also a political activist was commenting on the implementation of hudud in countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan which had drawn protests from international communities and human rights groups, describing the punishments meted out as "barbaric" and "inhuman".
