HOME Minister Muhyiddin Yassin will look into allegations that a new MyKid had been issued for Prasana Diksa – the child at the centre of a unilateral conversion dispute between two divorced parents. 

The Home Minister said the matter falls under the National Registration Department.

“This is under the National Registration Department, I will check,” he told a press conference in Putrajaya today. 

M. Indira Gandhi had recently lodged a  report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission with the help of the Indira Gandhi Action Team (Ingat), a new action group formed by Malaysian Hindu Sangam and other Hindu organisations to locate her ex-husband and child.

Her ex-husband converted to Islam in April 2009, and took the name Muhammad Riduan Abdullah.

He also converted their children – Tevi Darsiny, then 12; Karan Dinish, then 11; and the youngest, 11-month-old Prasana Diksa – to Islam without Indira’s knowledge.

Last year, after a long legal battle, the Federal Court nullified the conversions.

But Indira has not seen Prasana since Riduan left her in 2009.

Ingat chairman Arun Dorasamy said the MACC report named Zahid as the former home minister, the Home Ministry, and the National Registration Department. – February 28, 2019.

  • Use the 'rule of law' to compare this case with that of Maria Hertog (Nadrah) of 1950, in which about 10 people died in racial riots. The British implemented the decisions of the courts. Let our PH government show that the 'rule of law' is still alive in Malaysia, though this case was a legacy of the previous government.
