PUTRAJAYA, 21 Jan -- KALAH … Reaksi Editor Herald Tribune, Paderi Lawrence selepas mahkamah menolak rayuan semakan semula berhubung isu penggunaan kalimah Allah dalam penerbitan majalah mingguan gereja Katolik itu di Istana Kehakiman di sini, hari ini.Panel lima orang hakim yang diketuai Hakim Mahkamah Persekutuan Tan Sri Abdull Hamid Embong, sebulat suara menolak permohonan gereja bagi semakan selepas memutuskan bahawa pihak berkenaan (gereja) gagal memenuhi keperluan minimum bagi semakan yang termaktub dalam Aturan 137 Kaedah-kaedah Mahkamah Persekutuan 1995.-- fotoBERNAMA (2014) HAKCIPTA TERPELIHARA
THE Federal Court’s final decision on the Herald case is a disappointing outcome of the Catholic Church’s legal battle over its right to use the word “Allah” in its publication.
It also raises serious concerns that the ruling will have far-reaching implications, not only for the Catholic weekly but the Christian community at large, especially those in Sarawak and Sabah who have long used “Allah” in Bahasa Malaysia or indigenous languages in their Bibles, worship and prayer.
