Abstract: This paper explores and examines Hudud punishments in Islamic penal system, and is specifically purposed to analyse the proposed actualisation of the Hudud law in the two Malay-Muslim dominated states of Kelantan and Terengganu in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This paper is legal normative with descriptive-qualitative approach on both primary and secondary resources in order to obtain a judicial view of the subject matter by employing legal-theoretical and comparative analysis. In Malaysia, the Syariah Criminal Enactment (II) 1993 of Kelantan and the Syariah Criminal Enactment 2003 of Terengganu (as proposed by PAS) allow the application of Hudud laws into the above mentioned states. However, the enforcement of the above in both these states have been suspended indefinitely as UMNO claims these laws are inconsistent with the Federal Constitution - the supreme law of the Federation. This is because the enactment of penal laws is within the jurisdiction of the federal authority

Abstract: This paper seeks to explore how the warfare of Kaba and Foday Sillah led to demarcation of boundary between the British and the French. The continuous war of Kaba required an official mapping out of the boundary that would determine the legitimate sphere of influence of French and British for peace and stability in the entire South Bank of the Gambia. It also reveals the determination of British administration in setting up of the military expeditionary force to exterminate the strategic political and military entrenchment of Foday Kaba in the area.
