Federal Court grants leave to Orang Asli woman to appeal Muslim status


PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court today granted leave to a 32-year-old Orang Asli woman to appeal against her registration as a Muslim, following her conversion to Islam at the age of two.

A three-member panel led by Federal Court judge Nallini Pathmanathan unanimously held that leave should be granted, as the matter raises several novel questions of public importance that merit further consideration.
