Three Islamic councils withdraw intervener applications in ‘Allah’ case

They are the religious councils of Selangor, Kedah and the Federal Territories. Appearing before a three-member Court of Appeal bench chaired by Justice Yaacob Sam, lawyer Haniff Khatri Abdulla, representing the three councils, said he had instructions to withdraw their applications.The bench, which also comprised Justices M Nantha Balan and Nazlan Ghazali, struck out the applications as a result.

The judgment had been adjourned 12 times for parties to seek an out-of-court solution for the use of the word “Allah” in East Malaysian publication materials. In 2008, customs officers at KLIA seized eight CDs from Ireland titled “Cara Hidup Dalam Kerajaan Allah”, “Hidup Benar Dalam Kerajaan Allah” and “Ibadah Yang Benar Dalam Kerajaan Allah”. Ireland initially filed an action to reclaim the CDs, seeking several declaratory relief.
