This sounds like an easy way to get out of making a big decision for the Federal Court.  It seems obvious that they are willing to let the Syariah court rule their decisions in matters of religion.  Maybe Malaysians chould concede to removing the "right to freedom of religion" from the constitution altogether.  There doesn't seem to be any reason for us to keep it in there.  My advise to all non-muslims living there, "get out while you still can."  The government has already started tagging us through our Identity Card, and it won't be long before they start telling you what you can or cannot believe.  For those that decide or have no choice but to stay, I say, "bleed the country of all its natural resources and leave nothing for the oppressive, fascist, ruling party." Good luck and God bless.

PUTRAJAYA: Lina Joy lost her final round of appeal when the Federal Court dismissed on Wednesday her appeal against a ruling that the National Registration Department was right not to allow her to remove the word "Islam" from her identity card. 

Chief Justice Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim and Federal Court judge Justice Alauddin Mohd Sheriff delivered the majority decision dismissing her appeal. 

Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Justice Richard Malanjum dissented. 

On Sept 19, 2005, the Court of Appeal decided that the NRD director-general was right in refusing her application to drop her religious status from her IC on the grounds that the Syariah Court and other Islamic religious authorities did not confirm Linas renunciation of Islam.

It's about time that these celebs get their "just deserves."  If she gets time off, it just proves that the judicial system is a major joke.  Personally, I have no sympathy for her because she seems to think that she's above the law.  Normally I wouldn't even bother giving her the time of day, but for once, it's good to see that the law is taking appropriate action on this "wannabe princess."
