End of the road for the Herald's 'Allah' appeal


PUTRAJAYA: The Herald, the Catholic Church's weekly newsletter, has exhausted all legal avenues to use the word "Allah" to refer to God in its publication after the Federal Court denied its application for leave to appeal the Court's earlier decision on Wednesday.

A five-member Federal Court panel chaired by Justice Tan Sri Abdull Hamid Embong unanimously dismissed the Herald's review application after ruling that it had failed to meet the threshold requirement for review set out in Rule 137 of the Federal Court Rules 1995.
