Malaysia, After Lina Joy: A Dialogue

"To say that she is not under the jurisdiction of the Syariah Court 'because she no longer professes Islam' is not appropriate... In other words, one cannot embrace or leave a religion according to one's whims and fancies." ~~
Chief Justice Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim

"Illegal and unreasonable... to expect the appellant (Lina) to apply for a certificate of apostasy 'when to do so would likely expose her to a range of offences under the Islamic law' is, in my view, unreasonable." ~~
Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Datuk Richard Malanjum

"I am disappointed that the Federal Court is not able to vindicate a simple but important fundamental right that exists in all persons; namely, the right to believe in the religion of one's choice... The Federal Court has not only denied me that right but to all Malaysians who value fundamental freedoms." ~~
Lina Joy
