KUALA LUMPUR: A woman from Sarawak failed to obtain leave from the High Court to initiate a judicial review to compel the Federal Territory Registrar of Converts to remove her name from the Register of Converts on Thursday (Sept 21).
Federal counsel Mohammad Sallehuddin Md Ali said Judge Datuk Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid made the decision to allow a preliminary objection by the Attorney-General's Chambers to the application filed by the 26-year-old woman.
"Only the Syariah Court has jurisdiction to hear the application. The court dismisses the woman’s application with costs of RM3,000,” said Mohammad Sallehudin after the case proceedings were conducted online on Thursday.The woman filed the leave application last April 20, naming the Federal Territory Registrar of Converts, the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Council and the Malaysian Government as respondents.
She was also seeking the registrar to consider cancelling her name from the Register of Converts immediately and also seeking a declaration that the refusal or delay by the registrar in making the decision as requested in her letters dated Jan 30, Feb 20 and March 17, 2023, was irrational and unreasonable.
However, on Jan 27 last year, the woman, in an affidavit, pledged that she wanted to leave Islam and return to Christianity.
