SEREMBAN: The late Nyonya Tahir was granted her wish to be buried a Buddhist after the Syariah High Court here ruled that she was a non-Muslim at the time of her death. 

“I am very happy that we can finally take our mother back and give her a proper burial,” said Nyonya’s 43-year old daughter Chiang Kwai Ying as she rushed with other family members to the Tampin Hospital to claim her mother’s body yesterday.
