KOTA BARU – Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary said that nobody, not even cosmetics entrepreneur Muhammad Sajjad Kamaruz Zaman, better known as Nur Sajat, is above the law in Malaysia.

“No one is immune from the law. The court process needs to be prudent and thorough because there are certain procedures and guidelines that need to be followed.

“If there is an individual who refuses to appear in court, that does not mean that he is above the law, it is just that the process is ongoing,” he told reporters after handing over contributions to a fire victim, Mohd Yazid Mohd Nor, in Pengkalan Nangka, Pengkalan Chepa here today.

The Shah Alam shariah high court issued an arrest warrant against Sajjad, 36, for failing to attend proceedings on February 23. – Bernama, February 27, 2021
