  • Sarawakian Christian Finally Gets New ID Without Islam Indicated As Religion

    Sarawakian Christian Finally Gets New ID Without Islam Indicated As Religion

    KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 — A Sarawakian Christian has been issued a new identification card (IC) that recognises his non-Muslim identity and does not contain the word “Islam”, his lawyer confirmed.

    When asked for updates on Roneey Rebit’s case, lawyer Chua Kuan Ching said her client had applied for the new document from the National Registration Department (NRD) four months ago.

    Chua said the lawyers were informed that he had collected his new IC from the NRD’s Kuching office in late October.

    She confirmed that both the IC and the NRD’s official registry now reflect Roneey’s religious status as a Christian and uses his name at birth.

    “I’m glad that he finally got his IC after years of going around for this matter and months of waiting despite the decision given in March this year,” she told Malay Mail Online.

    Chua was referring to the Kuching High Court’s landmark ruling on March 24, which recognised Roneey’s constitutional right as an adult to choose his religion and ordered the NRD to issue him a new Mykad without the word “Islam” and with his name at birth restored.

    Roneey, now 41, had said he was converted as a child by his Christian-turned-Muslim parents.

    Kuching High Court judge Datuk Yew Jen Kie had in the judgment noted Roneey’s mother’s conversion certificate showed he was converted at the age of 10, adding that the facts showed that Roneey’s conversion to Islam then was not of his own volition but was a choice decided by his mother for him as a minor.

    The judge noted that Roneey was brought up in a Christian Bidayuh community since birth, never practised Islam and embraced Christianity on his own volition.

    In granting all three specific orders sought by Roneey in a December 8, 2014 judicial review application, the High Court judge declared that the Bidayuh man is a Christian.

    The judge also ordered the NRD to amend his given Muslim name of Azmi Mohamad Azam Shah @ Roneey to his name at birth, also directing the department to change Roneey’s religious status in his Mykad and the national registry to Christianity.

    A fourth order sought by Roneey was previously granted last June 12, in which the High Court ordered two Islamic bodies to issue him a letter of release from Islam and to forward it to his lawyers. It was a consent order that both Islamic bodies did not contest.

    In the same June consent order, the High Court had also allowed Roneey’s judicial review bid against the Sarawak Islamic Religious Department’s (Jais) director, the Sarawak Islamic Religious Department (Mais) and the Sarawak state government.

    Chua today confirmed that Jais had four months ago issued the letter of release from Islam for Roneey.

    Despite Roneey’s High Court victory in March, the NRD filed an appeal on April 22 — the only one out of the four respondents to do so.

    Roneey’s case once again made national headlines on May 2, when Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem said he had received Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s assurance that the NRD would end its appeal.

    On May 3, the NRD withdrew its appeal against the High Court judgment in favour of Roneey.

    Today, Chua said Roneey was glad and relieved that he finally has his IC after years and months of waiting.

    She said he would also like to thank those who have helped him both directly or indirectly.

  • 12 Year Old Rape Victim Bites Rapist’s Penis

    12 Year Old Rape Victim Bites Rapist’s Penis

    KUCHING: A fishmonger raped a Year Six pupil on Sunday but the plucky girl then turned the tables on him when he forced her to perform oral sex on him — she bit the man’s penis until it bled.

    Sources said the man had taken the victim to an abandoned house in Jalan Masja and raped her aboout 1.30pm.

    A source said, not being satisfied, the man then forced the girl to perform fellatio on him.

    “Taking her chance, the victim bit the suspect’s private part until it bled,” the source said.

    The suspect, who couldn’t handle the pain, later sent the victim back to her house.

    There, the girl informed her mother what happened and the latter lodged a report at the Gita police station on the same day.

    “Police picked up the suspect from his house. He was sent to the hospital for examination to his injuries,” the source said, adding that the case would be investigated under section 376 of the Penal Code for rape.

  • Malaysian Court Orders Return Of Allah CDs To Sarawakian Christian

    Malaysian Court Orders Return Of Allah CDs To Sarawakian Christian

    PUTRAJAYA, June 23 ― The Court of Appeal today ordered the Home Ministry to return the eight compact discs containing the word “Allah” to Jill Ireland Lawrence Bill within a month, chalking a win for the Sarawakian Christian after a seven-year legal battle.

    “Consequent to our order in affirming relief, we will grant application by applicant that the publication be released within one month,” Datuk Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, the judge heading the Court of Appeal’s three-man panel, said.

    The other judges are Datuk Seri Zakaria Sam and Datuk Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim.

    Jill Ireland’s lawyer Lim Heng Seng later confirmed, however, that the government can still apply for a stay of the order to release the CDs.

    But Lim said any application for a stay will be contested.

    “They can always apply on the grounds they are asking for leave to appeal to the Federal Court and the court will decide whether there are special circumstances to deny Jill Ireland the right to use her CDs.

    “She has been denied long enough, since 2008. So it will be contested if they ask for stay. Jill Ireland should be allowed to have her CDs,” he told reporters after the court’s decision, adding that the Melanau native from Sarawak needed the Christian materials for her personal study.

    Government lawyer Shamsul Bolhassan confirmed that he will have to wait for instructions on whether to file an appeal.

    Rev Dr Justin Wan, the president of SIB Sarawak, expressed hope that the case will finally be settled when the CDs are returned to church member Jill Ireland.

    “We will go another round until they complete (it),” he said when asked about the possibility of the government filing an appeal at the Federal Court and again withholding the CDs.

    The government had previously applied to keep the CDs despite a High Court defeat and pending the outcome of the appeal today.

    On May 11, 2008, the Home Ministry confiscated eight CDs bearing the word “Allah” from Jill Ireland at the Sepang airport upon her return from Indonesia, prompting her to file for judicial review in August the same year against the Home Minister and government of Malaysia.

    Last July 21, High Court judge Datuk Zaleha Yusof ruled that the Home Ministry was wrong to detain the CDs based on a point of law, also ordering the government to return the CDs and pay RM5,000 in legal costs.

    But the Home Ministry appealed on July 22 against the ruling, while Jill Ireland filed an appeal on August 18 as the High Court did not address constitutional issues that were raised in her judicial review application.

    Jill Ireland had sought declarations that it is her constitutional right to import publications in the practice of Christianity and that she is entitled to use the word “Allah”, among other matters.

  • Life Imprisonment And Death Sentence For Two Involved In 2010 Kallang Murder

    Life Imprisonment And Death Sentence For Two Involved In 2010 Kallang Murder

    Two men from Sarawak, Malaysia, convicted of murder for the brutal 2010 slashings here at Kallang were finally sentenced on Monday, with one headed to the gallows and the other jailed for life.

    Micheal Garing, 26, and Tony Imba, 36, were part of a gang that went on a robbery spree, severely injuring three victims and killing a fourth man.

    Both Michael and Tony were found guilty of murder last year after a 12-day trial the year before. It has been almost another year before they learnt their fates.

    Michael, whom High Court Judge Choo Han Tek had said that evidence showed was the one who had struck the dead man, was given the death sentence.

    Tony will be serving life in prison and given 24 strokes of the cane.

    Michael’s lawyer, Mr Ramesh Tiwary, said his client will be appealing his sentence.

    The pair and two accomplices had attacked and robbed the four men in the Kallang area from late in the night of May 29, 2010 until the early hours of the next day.

    Before the fatal assault on 41-year-old construction worker Shanmuganathan Dillidurai, they set upon two construction workers from India – Mr Sandeep Singh, 27, and Mr Egan Karuppaiah, 46 – and Singaporean Ang Jun Heng, 22.

    The dead man had a fractured skull, a severed left hand, a slash wound across his neck and a back wound so deep that his shoulder blade was cracked.

    One accomplice, Donny Meluda, 23, is at large. The other, Hairee Landak, 22, was sentenced to 33 years’ jail and 24 strokes of the cane for armed robbery with grievous hurt. He testified in the trial.
