MAHKAMAH Persekutuan pada 13 Februari lalu membuat keputusan berhubung penamaan seorang kanak-kanak tidak sah taraf yang didaftarkan Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) sebagai ‘bin Abdullah’. Penghakiman majoriti 4-3 dipengerusikan Presiden Mahkamah Rayuan, Datuk Rohana Yusuf, membenarkan rayuan dikemukakan JPN, Ketua Pengarah JPN dan kerajaan. Mereka memutuskan tindakan Ketua Pengarah JPN menolak permohonan bapa untuk kanak-kanak itu dibin dengan namanya adalah betul di sisi undang-undang. Antara lain, ia berasaskan undang-undang bertulis iaitu Seksyen 111 Enakmen Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam (Negeri Johor) 2003 mengenai kesahtarafan anak. Namun, oleh kerana tiada fatwa diwartakan di Johor berkenaan penggunaan ‘bin Abdullah’ ketika isu itu berbangkit, Ketua Pengarah JPN diarah m...

We of the International Women’s Alliance for Family Institution and Quality Education (WAFIQ) write this piece in response to the letter from Justice for Sisters (JFS) published by Malaysiakini on February 4, 2020. In its said letter, JFS feebly attempted to defend the actions of Muhammad Sajjad bin Kamaruz Zaman which caused an uproar not just amongst Muslims of Malaysia but also worldwide when he, among others, recently entered the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia as a biological man but identified as, and accordingly performed the rites of Umrah (minor pilgrimage) crossed dressed as a woman. The facts are not in doubt. As far as is ascertainable from publicly available evidence, Muhammad Sajjad was born as and still is biologically and anatomically male. It naturally follows, th

Agenda “Pendidikan untuk Semua” benar-benar membungakan harapan buat semua kanak-kanak. Terlebih khusus anak-anak tidak bernegara. Dalam dokumentari bertajuk “Tagupi Membaca: Harapan Anak-Anak Tidak Bernegara”, Peldalin Md. Nasip berkongsi impian emasnya. Impian zaman kecil untuk belajar di sekolah arus perdana. Keinginannya bertambah besar apabila melihat ahli keluarga yang lain segak berpakaian seragam sekolah. Namun, penjelasan ibunya bahawa dia tidak memiliki dokumen pengenalan diri membuatkan niat luhur itu dipendamkan sahaja. Harapan Peldalin yang terpaksa dilupakan itu hakikatnya mewakili kira-kira 290,437 kanak-kanak tanpa kewarganegaraan di negara ini. Suruhanjaya Tinggi PBB bagi Pelarian (UNHCR) melaporkan saban tahun, lebih 70,000 kanak-kanak di dunia lahir sebagai orang tida...

We refer to the MalayMail article dated 5 January 2020. Sugar dating, where one exchanges love and affection for money clearly only brings harm rather than good. It is bewildering how anyone could think that this is a good idea. Not only does it degrade the honorable status of women in society, it also promotes adultery and prostitution, and exposes young girls (and young boys) to online predators. It creates ‘open season’ for sexual offenders and adults carrying sexually transmitted diseases who could be amongst the app users. Not to mention that there are numerous cases documented involving online scammers which have affected women financially and the culprits have yet to be captured. The possibilities are endless, from online grooming to encountering risks of sexual abuse and rape
