  1. Bayi/kanak-kanak yang dijumpai, dipungut atau terdampar di mana-mana tempat di Malaysia di kategorikan sebagai muslim.
  2. Bayi/kanak-kanak berkenaan di kategorikan sebagai anak jagaan negara dan secara automatik memeluk agama Islam.

  1. What is the status of a fatwa in a secular country? Malaysia is a secular nation according to our consittution, so what is the power of such a fatwa ?

  2. There is probably plenty of anxiety about a baby/individual whose religious identity is unknown. Would this mean only Muslim foster parents are allowed to bring up the child? Considering the majority of people who have a lot of say in public service are probably Malay Muslims, I would say this is not very surprising. Ridiculous and scandalous, yes, but not surprising. Bureaucracy and religion make a deadly mix.
