Malaysian 'Muslim' woman fails in bid to become Hindu
A Malaysian woman who was converted to Islam as a child failed Wednesday in a legal battle to change her religion back to Hinduism, in the latest conversion dispute in the multi-ethnic nation.
The High Court in Penang state ruled that 28-year-old S. Banggarma, whose Muslim name is Siti Hasnah Vangarama Abdullah, was a Muslim because her parents converted the whole family in 1983.
"Parents have the right to determine the faiths of children who are below 18. It is a universal right, irrespective of religion," said judicial commissioner Yaacob Sam.
Banggarma, who has argued that she was made to convert to Islam at the age of seven when she was placed in a children's home, vowed to continue to fight the case.
"I was born a Hindu, and I want to die a Hindu," she said.
At the orphanage, Banggarma was given a Muslim name and her identity card -- a critical document in Malaysia -- declared her to be a Muslim. But as a teenager she rediscovered her religious identity.
She lives with her husband, S. Sockalingam, whom she married in a traditional Hindu ceremony, but they are unable to register their union because, officially, they belong to different religions.
Malaysian Muslims are not permitted to marry someone of another faith, unless the spouse converts to Islam. She is also unable to name her husband as the father of their two children on their birth certificates.
Banggarma's lawyers said they were disappointed with the court's decision.
"This is not the end. After going through the grounds for the dismissal, we will seriously consider appealing this case at the Court of Appeal," said counsel Gooi Hsiao Leung.
Conversion rows, including "body-snatching" cases when Islamic authorities have battled with relatives over the remains of deceased family members whose religion is disputed, are common in Muslim-majority Malaysia.
The tussles have raised allegations that the country is being "Islamised" and that the rights of the ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities are being eroded.
The last sentence really strike my nerves. This is one of the major problems here in Malaysia. Malay regards themselves as superiors and therefore making Chinese and Indians feels less recognised. True Malaysia is a Muslim country and true Malay is the majority in this country. But what im hoping for is that Malaysians do know that no matter wat religion/ethnic you are, it does not stamp your position in the society either under privileged or privileged. And im not saying there should be a freedom to choose religion but... i can't say any further than this..
We will always fight and we will always make a stand for what we believe and have faith in... thats's just the nature of a human being and a citizen...

Invasion of Privacy
When one's privacy has been invaded, it saddens me..
Why cant people just mind their own business and dont judge people..
One's act is only humane.. Unless he or she is a muthafucka who molests a child or silently kills for f***s then by all means expose his/her malicious act cos that aint human.
But other than that, why cant people just leave it be..
Aren't we all human and we tend to feel and think the same thing about variables of life..
It's just sad that one's privacy has been invaded for another's sick revenge/stupidity/out-of-curiousity-of-consequences/even worse-jealousy!

Why Dont They Mean Anything...
What is a family when they take you for granted
What is a friend when they seek you only when they need help
What is a partner when he/she doesn't believe in you
What is life when everything you have planned seems to be wrong for you..
She grew up with a family that met her every needs
She surrounded by friends that made her laugh everyday
She had a partner that made her smile from ear to ear
She had a life where she does not have to worry about a single thing
Now all she sees are figthing and shouting
All she hears are vexations and accusations
All she feels is heartbreak and loneliness
All she wanted was to be alone..
Why dont it all meant to be how it's meant to be..
Why wont things happened the way it is meant to happen
Why wont anything mean anything anymore....
