PETALING JAYA: An MP has spoken out against Perlis Mufti, claiming that his argument that unilateral conversion was legal under state law, was “weak”.

Sepang MP Mohamed Hanipa Maidin, who is from Parti Amanah Negara, said that the Federal Court had ruled against unilateral religious conversion, and said that Perlis Mufti Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin’s stance was “hard to defend”.
