Perlis Islamic Religious Dept negligent for allowing unilateral conversion, says MCCBCHST


PETALING JAYA: It is negligent of the Perlis Islamic Religious Department and the state mufti to allow the three children of Loh Siew Hong to be converted to Islam without her consent, says the Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism & Taoism (MCCBCHST).

Responding to videos posted by Perlis mufti Datuk Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, the MCCBHST said a remark made by the mufti that he would ensure the girls remain Muslims is against the law.
