Surinder Kaur's family members claim she uttered the Islamic declaration of faith on her deathbed.
GEORGE TOWN: A Sikh community leader has disputed a claim by religious authorities in Penang that a Sikh woman died a Muslim, a day after she was allegedly attacked by her 55-year-old lover.
Police reports indicate that Surinder succumbed yesterday to brain injuries sustained in an alleged assault by a man whom she had dated for the past six months. In the letter, he said Surinder’s brother informed him that his sister had recited the Islamic declaration of faith twice before him and her mother.
Law lecturer Shamsher Singh Thind questioned the extent to which Surinder’s utterance of the Islamic declaration of faith was acceptable, as doctors had said she suffered from brain damage and had only a “50-50” chance of survival.“Even if she was conscious, was she able to understand what was happening?” said Shamsher.
