Perlis mufti Asri Zainul highlighted concerns over a possible double standard where the same crime can be punishable under two sets of laws.

Abidin told the audience in a forum on hudud today.

"I am worried that a person who steals a car might get his hands amputated but another person who stole billions would not be amputated," he said.

He added that attempts to introduce hudud law in countries such as Sudan, Libya and Pakistan had been halted as it was found that the society has yet to meet the conditions required before it could be enforced.
