Another Conversion Case

The Syariah High Court has ruled that deceased art director Mohan Singh was a Muslim at the time of his death on May 25 and should be buried according to Muslim rites. Syariah High Court judge Justice Mohamad Khalid Shaee @ Shaii ruled that Mohan Singh’s conversion was valid after hearing testimony from five witnesses and examining the documents brought before the court yesterday. He issued the order in chambers, allowing the application by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) to handle the funeral of the deceased and also ordered the Sungai Buloh Hospital director to hand over Mohan Singh’s body to Mais. There could be hundreds of divorce cases been postpone for years by the Syariah Court, at least I know a few such cases! Why are they trigger happy with this conversation cases?
However, the deceased’s family claimed that the 41-year-old who died of a heart attack, had neither converted nor practised Islam, adding that he practised Sikhism and had performed the last rites for his late mother three years ago. On Wednesday, they filed for a judicial review at the civil High Court here against the Sungai Buloh Hospital’s decision not to release Mohan Singh’s body to be cremated according to Sikh rites.
There goes another case of body snatching and why is that the government dragging their feet on such issues? Isn’t this conversion issues a major problem among the different religious practitioners? What the heck is the government waiting for? Why is that the Syariah Court “Gung Ho” about issuing orders without thinking of the sensitivity others? This is not the very first case, there were numerous other cases pending court decision and the question is to which court shall the impcated people go to Syariah or Civil. Such a big headache that is making peoples lives miserable. Wonder is this is Najib’s 1 Malaysia concept!
