(Bernama pic)KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy law and institutional reform minister M Kulasegaran has called for a faster and simpler process to enforce maintenance payments, saying the issue affects everyone and not only Muslims.

He supported the proposal to amend syariah court laws to strengthen action against those who deliberately fail to pay maintenance to their wives and children.

“I think it’s a good proposal,” he said when asked whether similar amendments should be introduced for non-Muslims.
