KUCHING, Sept 7 — The High Court here will on Monday hear an application by a woman seeking a declaration that she has the right to determine the religion and upbringing of her teenage son, who at present has a Muslim name on his MyKad.
According to the news portal, the boy has just completed his schooling at a Chinese-medium school in Kota Kinabalu and his friends knew him by his Chinese name. In her affidavit, the plaintiff said she and the boy’s father married under Sabah’s Islamic Family Law Enactment 1992 on August 3, 1999 and their son was born on August 18, 2005.
The mother claimed on July 5 this year, she and her lawyers faced problems when applying to JPN Sarawak to change the details in her son’s identity card registers. She alleged that following her lawyers’ letter to the state JPN, the department replied via a letter dated July 31 that neither granted nor rejected the application and that she was asked to fill even more forms.
“The father has not objected to the child’s religious upbringing. He is also supportive of our application to amend the details of the child’s birth register and identity card.
