Hijacked by a new Islamist agenda?

“Malaysians should also remember that three years ago, the High Court told S
Shamala, a Hindu, that she could not seek redress in the civil courts to declare
null and void her children's unilateral conversion by her Muslim-convert husband, and advised her to seek the Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan's help instead.

Out of desperation, Shamala fled the country with her two children.

Following that, M Moorthy's family was also told they could not seek justice in the civil courts because Moorthy had allegedly converted to Islam.

In Subashini's case, however, the civil court has gone one step further by telling a non-Muslim to submit to the syariah court. Not only is the Court of Appeal abdicating its responsibility to protect a citizen's rights and interests as provided for by good law, it is also ignoring the Constitution by enlarging the syariah court's jurisdiction where none can exist unless there is law to that effect.

Such a judgment not only undermines the Constitution that this nation was founded on, it also fuels the fear that our Constitution is being hijacked by an Islamist agenda.”
