The Kepala Batas Wanita Umno will table a motion at its divisional meeting to support the implementation of hudud in the country.

Division chief Zabariah Wahab said the movement unanimously supported a motion on hudud that was tabled at its meeting.

She hopes the motion will be unanimously accepted when it is tabled at the divisional meeting.

"We will also table this motion at the national Wanita Umno meeting for reference and further action," Malay daily Sinar Harian today quoted Zabariah as saying.

"I raised this motion at the movement's meeting, based on its benefits and importance to Muslims. We must abide by this as this is Allah's law," said Zabariah, who is also Bertam assemblyperson.

She said there is no issue of an 'Umno hudud' or 'PAS hudud', since the hudud is Allah's commandment and all Muslims should abide by it and it not politicise it further.

Her call for implementation of the hudud is the second by an Umno leader, after Kemelah assemblyperson Ayub Rahmat proposed its implementation for both Muslims and non-Muslims in Johor.

Umno's Young Ulama wing has also reportedly supported its implementation.
