KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28, 2024: The following was shared in WhatsApp regarding the above video clip:
The speaker a retired Court of Appeal Judge Dato Seri Hishamuddin Yunus explained that following the Constitution of Malaysia, Malaysia is a secular country and not an Islamic state .
That the Constitution cannot be amended to make Malaysia an Islamic state even with a 2/3 majority in Parliament. This is because the Basic Structure Doctrine on Constitution will not allow such amendments . The Constitution is written for everlasting peace, stability and opportunities for all Malaysians for their welfare and for Malaysia's growth and development.

The 3rd Tan Chee Khoon Lecture organised by OHMSI in partnership with GBM was held on 9th March 2024. Whilst the Lecture covered many interesting aspects of the FC, one that stood out was….
” OUR SECULAR CONSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE CANNOT BE AMENDED BY PARLIAMENT. By reason of the doctrine of basic structure, there is no possibility of our Parliament amending the Federal Constitution to turn Malaysia from a secular State into an Islamic State.”
