Nurse wants to be declared atheist
MALACCA: A 58-year-old nurse is seeking a declaration in the High Court to be proclaimed an atheist and not a Muslim as stated in her MyKad.
She also wants her name to be reverted to her original Chinese name.
In her affidavit, Nora Koh Abdullah or Koh Kwee Chew said that in 1986 her friend, only known as Siti, had persuaded her to embrace Islam and had taken her to the Malacca Religious Department to be converted.
“I only did it to please my friend Siti. I have never practised the tenets of Islam nor that of Buddhism, which is the faith of my parents.”
