Mais ends bid to stay High Court ruling annulling woman’s unilateral child conversion

KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 — The Selangor Islamic Religious Council today cancelled its bid to stay the High Court’s December 2021 declaration that a 35-year-old Selangor woman was not Muslim after her mother converted her as a child without her father’s consent.

While D finally succeeded last December in the civil High Court in Shah Alam to get a declaration that she is not a person professing the religion of Islam, both Mais and the Selangor state government appealed this January to the Court of Appeal against the High Court decision in her favour. Today, Surendra confirmed that the status quo remains unchanged, noting: “NRD decided not to change and to wait for appeal”.The Court of Appeal is scheduled to hear the two appeals by Mais and the Selangor government on September 13.D was born in November 1986 to a non-Muslim couple married under civil laws but with her parents separated in 1991, with her Buddhist mother in May 1991 converting herself and then four-year-old D to Islam.

Just months before she turned seven, Jais in 1993 issued D a conversion card recording her purported 1991 conversion to Islam, with this card keeping D’s original name but replacing her father’s name with the words “binti Abdullah” . Around 2011 which was when she was already an adult, D applied to remove the label “Islam” on her identity card as she never professed the religion of Islam, but the NRD rejected this application.

Why force/compel someone who never practised Islam, lived her life as a Hindu, to stay in the religion she wants to have nothing to do with? How cruel. How oppressive. Why?

In latest case, High Court again finds vernacular schools constitutionalKUALA LUMPUR, May 30 — The High Court in Kota Baru yesterday dismissed a lawsuit by a Muslim teachers group I-Guru that sought to declare vernacular schools in Malaysia... 3.10pm KB High Court disagreed with justice Nazlan's judgment that schools aren't 'public authority'. Justice Abazafree ruled that schools are infact public authority. However the court added -that 'history' shows that vernacular schools are OK in Malaysia😊 AppealPending The vocabulary of the Malay language is inadequate to express myriad situations. Maybe then, but a reclusive social system now & the future. Perhaps, a flawed opinion. Regressive historical facts isn't always the way forward.
