Sorry I won’t be able to update with anything substantial for the next week or so…busy with assignments.
LKS’s blogs today about Revathi Masoosai/Siti Fatimah – if you haven’t read the news, she deconverted from Islam years ago, and the authorities found out about her status after she gave birth. Her marriage is unregistered because her husband would have had to convert to Islam.
Her 100-day remand by the Malacca Syariah Court has been extended another 80 days. The reason? “She did not cooperate” (Read: Didn’t want to de-deconvert from Islam). Poor baby.
