PUTRAJAYA is dropping a controversial clause on keeping a child’s faith if their parents convert to another religion when it tables fresh amendments to the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) (Amendment) Bill 2016 tomorrow.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Azalina Othman Said withdrew the bill today before question time, leading to speculation that it was meant to prevent an outcry among Muslims, who form the majority of the Barisan Nasional (BN) government’s vote bank.
