KUALA LUMPUR: The Catholic church and the Government have agreed to leave it to the court to determine whether the newsletter The Herald is allowed to use the word “Allah”.
It is understood that this was the outcome of a meeting between church authorities and the Government. Several issues were discussed during the meeting but no details were available.
Meanwhile, Herald editor Father Lawrence Andrew confirmed that the church had received the Government’s notice of appeal last week. No date had been set for the case to be heard.
The Government is appealing against a decision of the High Court which found that the Catholic church had the right to use the word “Allah” in its publication. Following the ruling, the Government applied for a stay of execution.
