MK George : Mar 31, 2016 : World Watch Monitor
Rebit was born into a Christian family in 1975 but his parents converted to Islam when he was eight years old… In 1999, Rebit embraced Christianity and was baptized.
[World Watch Monitor] In a landmark ruling last week a Malaysian court upheld the rights of a Christian to convert from Islam.
The judgment establishes a precedent in a country where religious conversions, particularly from Islam to Christianity, have been steeped in controversy.
The verdict reaffirms the supremacy of the Federal Constitution, which under Article 11 defends every Malaysian citizen’s right to freedom of religion.
