Islamic Fundamentalism and Legal Reform in a Muslim Majority Country. An Experience from Indonesia and its Comparison to Malaysia
To put it simply, legal reform can be defined as a process or mission aiming to change the existing law(s) and/or the existing legal system to enhance the quality of such a legal system to meet the requirement of justice and the rule of law more effectively and efficiently. Under the rule of democracy, ideally, the legal reform mission should also aim to enhance the protection of human rights and diversities. Unfortunately, from Indonesia’s experience as a Muslim majority country, that’s not necessarily the case.
