KUALA LUMPUR, March 21 — Perlis state religious authorities exercised their power lawfully when it allowed Hindu mum Loh Siew Hong's three children's unilateral conversion to Islam without her consent, the High Court heard today.
Mohd Radhi who is representing the Registrar of Mualaf as well said the latter had thus exercised their powers legally in registering and issuing the certificate of conversion upon consent by the children's father. However, in the 2018 decision, the Federal Court unanimously confirmed that the English text of the Federal Constitution is authoritative since it has not been shown that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has prescribed the Malay translation to be authoritative.
Lawyer Haniff Khatri Abdulla who appeared for the Religious and Malay Customs Council of Perlis , said he was not requesting the court to depart from Indira's precedent but is accorded the liberty to choose which to follow based on the factual matrix of the case. He said the named respondents never disputed the fact on which Loh's three children were converted unilaterally, further stating the only issue before the court is the legal status of said conversions.
After hearing submissions from parties, High Court judge Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh later fixed May 11 for the decision.
