NON-Muslim groups should meet Rulers to find solutions for issues arising from conversion matters, said Datuk Seri Nazri Abd Aziz.
The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department made the suggestion while replying to MPs who raised these issues in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.
Nazri, who answered questions raised at the committee stage of Budget 2011, said he could not guarantee that the controversial issue could be resolved.
Replying to Chong Eng (DAP–Bukit Mertajam) and M. Kulasegaran (DAP–Ipoh Barat), he said: “Non-Muslim groups like Hindu Sangam and the Roman Catholic Church should meet the Rulers to find a solution.”
“There is no decision on the amendment of family laws at the moment. It is under the Rulers’ conference,” he said.
It was reported in April last year that the Cabinet had decided that the children of divorced parents, with one of them having converted to another religion, would have to be raised in the common religion at the time of marriage.
