Woman and four sons lose appeal to remove the word 'Islam' from ICs

PUTRAJAYA: A former clinic assistant and her four sons has lost their bid to compel the National Registration department (NRD) to change their names and remove the word "Islam" from their identity cards.

Court of Appeal judge Justice Mohd Zawawi Salleh, who chaired a three-man panel, held that the contention by the five appellants that their religion was mistakenly inserted by the NRD was not supported by any cogent evidence.
