PUTRAJAYA, May 16 —The Home Ministry today explained that the withdrawal of its appeal against the High Court’s ruling on the case involving a woman from Sarawak, Jill Ireland Lawrence Bill, was because it involves an administrative issue in the seizure of publication material and not the use of the word ‘Allah’ by non-Muslim in Malaysia.
The Administrative Directive issued by the ministry in December, however, prohibits the use of the four Arabic words in all Christian publications in Malaysia. “KDN is committed to defending and protecting the interests of Islam, the Malays and the Royal Institution in Malaysia, especially in the issue of using the word of Allah in accordance with Article 11 and Article 11 of the Federal Constitution.
