Abstract

The implementation of Syariah criminal law enforcement in Malaysia often invites negative comments and polemic among the Muslim society. They always question the effectiveness of the implementation of this Syariah criminal law enforcement in curbing the activities that are against the Islamic rules. This article aims to examine to what extent the Syariah criminal law enforcement is implemented as provided under the Syariah Offences Enactment (Melaka state) 1991. This is a qualitative study which utilises documents analysis approach in its data collection. The study found that there were only 27 types of offences dealt with by the Enforcement Division of JAIM with concentration given related to sexual offences category. There are 8 types of Syariah criminal offences that frequently occur in Malacca. They are cohabitation, indecent acts, adolescent pregnant out of wedlock, gambling, illegal sexual intercourse abetment, selling and eating food during Ramadan, illegal/unauthorized collection and drinking intoxicate drinks. Hence, further studies should be undertaken to assist the Enforcement Division in identifying the weaknesses in enforcing the law and thereby able to improve and overcome the weaknesses in enhancing the Syariah criminal law execution.
