If Muslim MPs oppose the motion , we will , in the 14 th general election , campaign in their parliamentary constituencies and explain that these are the leaders who opposed the strengthening of Islamic laws , The Islamic Laws in this issue refers to the following part The motion is on a bill seeking to raise the present punishment cap under syariah law to 30 years ' jail , RM 100 , 000 fine and 100 strokes of the whip . The current syariah punishment cap is three years ' imprisonment , RM 5 , 000 fine and six strokes of the whip . So how exactly did they derive to these punishments that they call Islamic ? Don ' t get me wrong . I think these punishments are the parts that should not be the main focus in Islamic Laws but rather any Islamic Bodies should instead follow the clear parts that have been repeated many times in Quran , such as Giving alms Feeding the poor and needy Feeding orphans Taking care of the environmenttldr Islamic Law should focus on helping others rather than mete out punishments
