KUCHING: The High Court's decision to allow non-Muslims to use the word "Allah" in their religious publications affirms that religious freedom and rights are protected under the Federal Constitution, says Selangau MP Baru Bian.

The Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) lawmaker said the ruling handed down by Justice Nor Bee Ariffin was consistent with the rights of all Malaysians under the Constitution and particularly the rights of Sarawakians and Sabahans pursuant to the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
