The MCCBCHST refers to a statement by the Malaysian Syariah Lawyers Association regarding Section 107 of the Administration of Islamic Laws (FT) Bill 2013. The MCCBCHST wishes to clarify that similar provisions passed in some state enactments were done stealthily. When the MCCBCHST became aware, they protested that these provisions allowing unilateral conversion of children were unconstitutional. Additionally, Section 95 of the original 1993 bill passed by parliament required dual parental consent for the conversion of minors, but the gazetted version altered this to allow conversion with the consent of just one parent. A thorough inquiry is needed regarding this wrongful gazetting.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Media Statement - 5 JulY 2013
Gazetted Provision of Bahasa Malavsia Version of Section 95 (b) of the
Administration of lslamic Laws (FT) Bill 1993 not passed bv Parliament.
The Malaysian Consultative Council Of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and
Taoism (MCCBCHST) refers to the Statement made by the Malaysian Syariah Lawyers
Association (PGSM) (MalaysiaKini 21712013) that there was no major change brought by
Section 107 of the Administration of lslamic Laws (FT) Bill 2013 as there was already a
similar provision, in existing Section 95 in place. The PGSM further stated that similar
provision as Section 95 existed in other State Enactments, such as, Pahang (introduced
in 2001), Malacca (20021, Selangor (2003) etc.
The MCCBCHST wishes to state that these Enactments were passed very stealthly. The
MCCBCHST was informed by some members of State Legislatives who had voted for the
Enactments that they thought that the Bills were for matters relating to the Muslims and
would not affect Non-Muslim Rights.
The MCCBCHST when became aware of these privisions protested very strongly against
these State Enactments as being unconstitutional in certain provision like Section 95 which
altows one parent to convert a child.
The MCCBCHST then prepared a Protest Note dated 20th dav October. 2005 pointing out
that these State Enactments had infringed the rights of Non-Muslims and submitted it to the
Cabinet, requesting it to repeal these objectionable provisions. On page 27 of the
Memorandum, it stated:
"All Iegislation purporting to give only one parent the right
to convert a child to Islam or only one parent the right to
determine a child's religion should be repealed."
Now, because of the occurrence of such cases as, case of Shamalla, lndira Ghandi,
Subashini and now Deepa (from Seremban), has created awareness of the problem among
the public including the Law makers and thus the present clamour to have Section 107(b)
and Section 51 (3)(b)(x) & (xi) repealed.
2. The MCGBCHST wishes to emphasise that once a Bill is tabled in Parliament, all its clauses
are then subject to scrutiny and debate. One cannot say that this Section 107(b) is similar
to eartier Section 95, and is therefore unobjectionable. Now we find that that was not
even the case as Parliament has not intended S95 in its present form.
ln the case of LATIFAH BTE MAT ZIN v. ROSMAWATHI BTE SHARIBUN & ANOR 120071
S MLJ 101, the Federal Court had observed that it was aware that certain States had
passed laws that infringed on matters within the Federal List but had declined to name the
State Enactments.
Section 95 (F.T. Bill- 1993). ENQUIRY NEEDED.
MCCBCHST has been made aware that Section 95 of the Administration of lslamic
Laws (FT) Bill 1993, when introduced in Bill form by the Prime Minister in Parliament
in '1993 was different from the one gazetted. The Bill was passed by Parliament with
Section 95 of the Bahasa Malaysia version with the following provisions:-
S95 Bagi maksud Bahagian ini, seseorang yang tidak beragama lslam boleh masuk
lslam jika ia sempurna akal dan -
(a) Mencapai umur lapan belas tahun; atau
(b) Jika ia belum mencapai lapan belas tahun, ibu bapa atau penjaga mengizinkan
kemasukannya."
However, when it was gazetted, there was a minor but far-reaching variation in its
Bahasa Malaysia version for Section 95(b) permitting unilateral conversion of minors
to lslam when Parliament had always intended dual parental consent, as the
gazetted Bahasa Malaysia version reads:
"(b) jika dia belum mencapai umur lapan belas tahun, ibu atau bapa atau penjaganya
mengizinkan kemasukannya."
This completely alters the meaning of "parent" in Article 12(4). A thourough enquiry
required in this wrongful gazetting. lts coming to light at this pertiment moment may
divine intervention.
The MCCBCHST wishes to re-iterate that according to the Gonstitutional Scheme of things
Section 12(41 of the Federal constitution should be read with Article 160 (Eleventh
Schedule), which would mean both the Father and Mother must consent to any change of
religion of the child. The proposed Section 107(b) and similar provisions in the State
Enactments are therefore unconstitutional and must be withdrawn. More so as Section
95 as intended and passed by Parliament in 1993 carried words "lbuBapa" but when
gazetted, words were changed to "!bu atau Bapa", thus completely altering the
meaning.
